HARDY ORNAMENTAL VINES. 



BOSTON IVY— Ampelopsis Veitchii. 



This beautiful climbing plant of Japanese origin was first brought conspicuously 

 to the notice of American people in the East and particularly around Boston, It at once 

 attracted so much attention that it was written about and talked about everywhere, and 

 very naturally was spoken of as the " Boston Ivy," and is to-day perhaps better known by 

 that name than any other. It is a variety of the Virginia creeper, but very slender and 

 delicate-like. The plant clings very closely to brick and stone work, and rapidly attains 

 a height of even fifty feet. The leaves are small, purplish green in summer, changing in 

 fall to the most beautiful tints of crimson and orange. In our Northwestern climate the 

 plant requires a slight protection during the first two or three winters, but subsequently 

 it is perfectly hardy. A portion of the young growth is always rather tender and apt to 

 be winterkilled; but protect that by some simple, light covering, enough to exclude the 

 sun's rays, for a winter or two, while the plant is small, and it will eventually get estab- 

 lished, and can defy our severest weather. Plant in rich soil, and train on stakes until 

 it is established, and has firm hold of the wall. Strong plants, each, 25 cts.; extra strong, 

 each, 50 cts.

 will grow more vigorous and consequently give a greater quantity of 

 flowers.
