 Boston Ivy 



( Ampelopsiy Veitchii) 



IS well known as the best and most 

 beautiful hardy climbing vine for 

 covering the walls of houses, 

 churches, schools, mills, etc. The 

 vine throws out fine rootlets all along 

 the stems, which enables it to cling 

 fast to the tallest walls, and it will 

 soon cover them with a sheet of hand- 

 some deep green foliage, as shown in 

 the illustration. As Autumn ap- 

 proaches, the leaves gradually turn 

 to brilliant crimson and golden tints, 

 which are greatly admired in their 

 season. The vine covers the walls so 

 completely it aids materially to pre- 

 serve the walls and keep the buildings 

 dry and warm in Winter and cool in 

 [3 Summer. It is very extensively plant- 

 ed in our most beautiful suburban 

 places, where it gives a finish of grace 

 and beauty that nothing else can do. 

 The Japan Ivy is entirely hardy and 

 will grow and thrive finely in all 

 usual places all over the United States. 

 It is equally desirable for all classes
