AKEBIA QUINATA (AkeWaVine)

 foliage, and producing in early spring numberless bunches of violet brown 

 flowers, which have a pleasant cinnamon odor ; most desirable for positions 

 where a dense shade is not required. Strong plants, 50 cts. each; |5.00 per 

 doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



AMPEI.OPSIS ENGI.EMANNI 



A greatly improved variety of the Virginia Creeper, with dense foliage of a 

 glossy light green in summer, changing to a brilliant crimson in the autumn. 

 On a rough stone surface it will cling without support in the same way as the 

 Japanese Ivy. 50 cts. each; $6.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



AMPELOPSIS LO^VI 



A splendid variation from the popular Boston or Japan Ivy, possessing all 

 the merits of the parent, being perfectly hardy, clinging to the smoothest sur- 

 face without support, and with much 

 smaller foliage, which is deeply cut, 

 giving it a grace and elegance en- 

 tirely distinct from the old type. In 

 spring and summer the leaves are a 

 bright, fresh apple-green color, chang- 

 ing in the autumn to various brilliant 

 tones of orange, crimson and scarlet. 

 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz.

QUINQUEFOLIA 



(Virginia Creeper, or American Ivy) 



This well known climber is one of 

 the best and quickest growing varieties 

 for covering trees, trel 1 ises, arbors, etc. ; 

 its large, deep green foliage assumes 

 brilliant shades of yellow, crimson and 

 scarletin the fall. Strong plants, 40 cts. 

 each; $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 



Ampelopsis Tricolor 



Akhbia Quinata 



Ampelopsis Tricolor 



(Vitis heterophylla variegata) 



A beautiful and desirable climber, with fine 

 dark green foliage, wonderfully variegated with 

 white and pink; during the late summer and 

 fall the plant is liberally covered with attractive 

 small berries of a peculiar lustrous metallic pea- 

 cock blue color; highly useful for trailing over 

 rocks or for a low trellis. (See cut. ) 35 cts. 

 each; $3.50 per doz. 



AuPBLOPSis Vbitchi 



AIIIPEI.OPSIS VEITCHI 



(Boston Ivy, 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 smooth- 

 est 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.) Two-year old plants, 35 cts. each; $350 

 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



ARISTOI.OCHIA SIPHO 



(Dutchman's Pipe Vine) 



A vigorous and rapid-growing climber, bearing singular brownish-colored flowers, 

 resembling in shape a pipe. Its flowers, however, are of little value compared to its 

 light-green leaves, which are of very large size, and retain their color from early spring 

 to late fall; perfectly hardy. Strong plants, $1.00 each.
