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 foli- 

 age is of a rich olive green during the sum- 

 mer, changing to various shades of bright 

 crimson and scarlet in the fall. In planting Aristolochia Sifho 

 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.
