 AKEBIA QUINATA (AkebiaYine) 



One of the most graceful of our hardy climbers, with deep green, small 

 foliage, and producing in early spring numberless bunches of violet-brown 

 flowers, which have a plea-^ant cinnamon odor; most desiraljle for positions 

 where a dense shade is not required. Strong plants 25 cts. each; $2.50 

 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100. 



AMPELOPSIS LOWII 



Since the introduction of the popular Ampelopsis Veitchi or Baston Ivy, 

 over forty years ago, no other plant of a similar self-clinging habit has 

 l)een introduced. 



We have in the past four 

 years distributed a large num- 

 ber of this splendid form, and 

 have received many compli- 

 mentary reports from custo- 

 mers who have had it a 

 sufficient length of time to be- 

 come established and show its 

 ■character. 



While not quite as rapid in 

 gowth as 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 crim- 

 son and scarlet. (See cut. ) 

 Strong plants, 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz. ampelopsis i.owii

 ing over rocks or for a low trellis. 25 cts. each;

(Boston Ivy, or Japan Ivy )

 various shades of bright crimson and scarlet in the fall.
