(B) Biennial (TP) Tender Perenniai 
AMARANTHUS (a) 
These robust annuals, including ."‘Love-Lies- ~ 
Bleeding,” “Joseph’s Coat,” etc., attain heights of 
from 114 to 6 feet; are very showy garden plants. 
1076 Molten Fire. The brilliant Oriental-red foli- 
age of this symmetrical plant gives it a charm 
and exotic beauty not possessed by any other 
garden onnual. The Amaranthus grows to per- 
fection in hot dry locations where few other 
plants do well. Molten Fire develops into a fine 
shaped rounded plant about three feet in height. 
Its lower foliage is bronzy-red and the tops are 
intense scarlet, vying in brilliance with the finest 
greenhouse grown Poinsetiias. It is ideal for pro- 
ducing accents in the garden or for planting in 
masses where a startling effect is desired. Best 
results are obtained in soil that has not been 
over fertilized. . .Pkt., 25¢ 
AMPELOPSIS, Boston Ivy (P) 
1082 Veitchii. A valuable climber. Entirely 
hardy in the most exposed places, often attaining 
a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years,. 
clinging to stones, brick, or woodwork, with the 
greatest tenacity. It is a great protection to walls, 
etc., as the leaves, lapping over each other, shed 
rain. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of 
green, but in the fall it assumes the most gorgeous 
tints of autumn. meePkive25C
