AMPEEOPSIS VEITCHI. 



(Boston Ivy, or Japan Ivy.) 



The most popular and desirable climbing plant for covering 

 brick, stone, or wooden walls, trees, etc.; when it becomes 

 established at the root it is of very rapid growth, and clings to 

 the smoothest surface with the tenacity of ivy; the foliage is of 

 ■a. rich olive green during the summer, changing to various 

 .shades of bright crimson and scarlet in the fall. In planting 

 Ampelopsis of all kinds, the plants should be cut down to within 

 ■6 inches of the ground, so that the new growth may cling to the 

 wall or tree from the bottom up. If planted out when 2 or 3 

 :feet high, they would only cling from where the young growth 

 started, leaving the base loose.
