AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 



JAPAN 



SOMETIMES CALLED BOSTON IVY" AND 



IVY." 



No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing 

 plant. 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 woodwork with the great- 

 est 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. 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 dis- 

 tance. 



Prices: 1st size, pot-grown, 50 cts. each; 2d size, pot- 

 grown, 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.
