AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI (Boston Ivy. or Japan Ivy). 



The most popular and desirable climbing plant for covering brick, stone, 

 or wooden walls, trees etc.; when it becomes established at the root it is of 

 very rapid growth, and clings to the smoothest surf ice 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. If planted out when 2 

 or 3 feet high, they would only cling from where the young growth 

 started, leaving the base loose.
