"SILVERY=SWEET" VINE. 



(Actiaidia Polygama.) True. 



A new, hardy climber, from Japan, of remarkable beauty. The foliage 

 on the ends of the flowering shoots is of a glistening silvery-white color, 

 giving the whole vine, from a little distance, the appearance of being 

 covered with large white flowers blooming among its bright green 

 leaves. The effect is very marked and beautiful. The flowers, which 

 appear in this latitude about the middle of June, lasting from two to 

 three weeks, are creamy wliite in color with numerous stamens with 

 bright }-ellow anthers, and remarkablj' sweet, resembling the Lily of the 

 Valley in fragrance. (See cut.)

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 



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

 lapping over each other like slates on a roof, effectually prevent rain 

 from penetrating the walls. For covering dead trees, gate posts, bound- 

 ary 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. (See cut.)
