being now a feature on the finest. houses —- notably the palatial residence 
corner 57th Street and 5th Avenue, New York City. Another fine example 
of it is seen on Grace Church, in New York, while on Commonwealth 
Avenue, in Boston, there are hundreds of the finest houses covered with it 
from foundation to roof. It is 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 pre- 
vent rain from penetrating the walls: For covering dead trees, gate posts, 
boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid growth and 
tenacious clinging qualities make it a most desirable plant for staying up 
terraces. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in fall it 
assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so dazzling 
as to be seen ata great distance. We sold over 50,000 plants of this the
