ARISTOLOCHTIA SIPHO.

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI. 
AMPELOPSIS WEITCHI. 
(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. (See cut.) Strong plants, 15 cts.
