Akebia Quinata (Akebia vine)

 and producing in early spring numberless bunches of violet brown flowers, which 

 have a pl;easant cinnamon odor; most desirable for positions where a dense shade is 

 not required. Strong plants, SO cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $3.S.OO per 100. 



Ampelopsis Englemanni 



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. 

 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Annpelopsis Low^i 



A splendid variation from the popular Boston or Jap^^n Ivy, possessing all the 

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

 out support, and with much smaller 

 foliage, which is deeply cut, giving it a 

 grace and elegance entirely distinct 

 from the old type. In spring and sum- 

 mer the leaves are a bright, fresh 

 apple-green color, changing in the 

 autumn to various brilliant tones of 

 orange, crimson and scarlet. 50 cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz. 



Ampelopsis 



Quinquefolia 



(Virginia Creeper, or American Ivy) 



This well known climber is one of 

 the best and quickest growing varieties 

 for covering trees, trellises, arbors, etc.; 

 its large, deep green foliage assumes 

 brilliant shades of yellow, crimson and 

 scarlet in the fall. Strong plants, 40 cts. 

 each; $4.00 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Ampelopsis Lowi 



rocks or for a low trellis. 25 cts. each; 



Akebia 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 

 2.50 per doz. 



Ampelopsis Veitchi 



Ampelopsis 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 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.) Two- 

 year-old plants, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Aristolochia Sipho 



(Dutchman's Pipe Vine) 



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

 bling 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.
