 places, 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 houses, as the leaves lap- 

 j)ing over each .other like slates on a roof effectually prevent 



rain from penetrating 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.
