AMPELOPSI? L-^'WII. 



Akebi* Quinata. 



Ampel(">psis Vi- 1 i ' 



Aiiipelopsis LfO^vii. 



Since the introduction of the popu- 

 lar Ampelopsis Veitchi or Boston Ivy, 

 over forty years ago, no other plant of 

 a similar self-clinging habit has been 

 introduced. 



We have in the past five years dis- 

 tributed a large number of this splendid 

 form, and have received many compli- 

 mentary reports from customers who 

 have had it a sufficient length of time to 

 become established and show its charac- 

 ter. While not quite as rapid in growth 

 as Ampelopsis Veitchi, it possesses all 

 of its other good points, being perfectly hardy and clinging to the smoothest 

 surface without support, to which must be added the much smaller, deeply cut 

 foliage, which gives it a grace and elegance not possessed by any other vine. 



In sj>ring and summer the leaves are of a bright, fresh apple-green color, 

 changing in the autumn to brilliant crimson and scarlet. (See cut.) Strong 

 plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI (Bo.tonlvy. or Japan ivy). 

 The most popular climbing plant for covering brick, stone or wooden walls, 

 trees, etc. ; when it becomes established 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, if still in a dormant 

 condition, 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. (See cut.) Extra 

 strong two-year-old plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Tender Climbers, .uch a* Coboea. Pawion Vine, Moonflowen. etc., are offered under the head of Garden and Greenhoiue Plant*
