 but not as large as the Virginia creeper, the leaves being of greater sub- 

 stance, and prettily variegated. The ground color is a deep velvety-

ing blue-black.

 do well in full sun. It blooms in July and August, in large terminal cvmes 

 of white hydrangea-like flowers, and a large plant with hundreds of blooms is 

 very attractive. Extra strong plants, $1.00 each.
