Ampelopsis Veitchi 



Ampelopsis Veitchi. 



(Boston Ivy, or Japan Ivy.) 

 The most popular climbing plant for cov- 

 ering 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 fo- 

 liage 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;
