CLIMBING PLANTS. 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 

 Sometimes Called "Boston Ivy" and "Japan Ivy."

 adapted to all situations, and transforms the humblest cottage. It is 

 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. It is a great protection to houses, as the leaves lapping 

 over each other like slates on a roof effectually prevent rain from pene- 

 trating the walls. For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, 

 verandas, 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. One-year 

 plants, pot grown, $10.00 per 100.

 grance. S2.00 per 100.
