ine 
~ a general favorite, and it has an additional 
claim to popularity in the fact that it is in 
flower very early in the spring; when other climbing plants are yet 
in winter attire this is gay with its bright yellow, fragrant 
blossoms, scattered profusely over the leafless branches, giving 
a welcome tinge of color to the sombre surroundings of the garden. 
It is perfectly hardy and requires but little cultural care. 
Planted against a wall or trellis in well-drained soil, it usually 
makes satisfactory progress, and will be admired when its period 
of beauty arrives. But it is amenable to other methods of culture. 
It can be grown in pots, also, like other Jasmines, in bush form, 
if pruned for that object. The flowers are valuable for cutting; a 
few sprays give a cheerful appearance to aroom. (See cut.) Price, 
30c. each, 4 for $1.00, 12 for $3.00. 
=fAMPELOPSIS VEITOHI = 
(Sometimes called “‘ Boston Ivy ” and ‘‘ Japan Ivy.’”) 
Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a height of 
20 to 30 feet in two or three years, clinging to stones, brick or wood 
work with the greatest tenacity. Itisa great protection to houses, 
as the leaves lapping over each other like slates on a roof effectu- 
ally prevents rain from penetrating the walls. For covering dead 
trees, gate posts, boundary walls, etc., it has no equal. In the 
summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in the fall it 
assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so 
dazzling as to be seen at a great distance.
