Akebia Quinata. 



Ampelopsis Veik 



Ampelopsis L,owii. 



Since the introduction of the popular 

 Ampelopsis Veitchi or Boston Ivy, over 

 forty years ago, no other plant of a simi- 

 lar self clinging habit has been intro- 

 duced. 



We have in the past four years dis- 

 tributed a large number of this splendid 

 form, and have received many com- 

 plimentary reports from customers who 

 have had it a sufficient length of time to 

 become established and show its character. 

 While not quite as rapid in growth as 

 Ampelopsis Lowii. .Ampelopsis Veitchi, it possesses all of its 



Other good points, being perfectly hardy and clinging to the smoothest surface 

 without support, to which must be added the much .smaller, deeply cut foliage, 

 which gives it a grace and elegance not possessed by any other vine. 



In spring and summer the leaves are of a bright, fresh apple-green color, 

 changing in the autumn to brilliant crimson and scarlet. (See cut.) Strong 

 plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



AmPEI^OPSIS VEITCHI (Boston Ivy. or Japan Ivy). 



The most popular climl>ing plant for covering brick, stone, or wooden walls, 

 frees, etc.; when it becomes established it is of very rapid growth, and clings to 

 he smoothest surface with the tenacity of ivy; the foliage is of a rich olive green 

 hiring the summer, changing to various shades of bright crimson and scarlet in 

 liL" 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; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Tender Climber*, such as Cobaea, Passion Vine, Moonflowers, etc., are offered under the head of Garden and Greenhouse Plants.
