Akebia Quinata 



AMPELOPSIS 



QUINQUEFOLIA 



(Virginia Creeper, or American Ivy) 

 This well known climber is one of the best 

 and quickest growing varieties for covering 

 trees, trellises, arbors, etc.; its large, deep 

 green foliage assumes brilliant shades of yel- 

 low, crimson and scarlet in the fall. Strong 

 plants, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz. ; $30.00 

 per 100. 



AKEBIA OUIIVATA (AkeWaVine) 



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 pleasant cinnamon odor; most desirable for positions 

 where a dense shade is not required. Strong plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per 

 doz. ; $35.00 per 100. 



AMPEI^OPSIS ENGI^EMANNI 



A greatly improved variety of the Virginia Creeper, with dense foliage of a 

 glossy light green in summer, changing to a brilliant crimson in the autumn. 

 On a rough stone surface it will cling without support in the same way as the 

 Japanese Ivy. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



AMPELOPSIS LO^SVI 



A splendid variation from the popular Boston or Japan Ivy, possessing all 

 the merits of the parent, being perfectly hardy, clinging to the smoothest sur- 

 face without support, and with much 

 smaller foliage, which is deeply cut, 

 giving it a grace and elegance en- 

 tirely distinct from the old type. In 

 spring and summer ihe leaves are a 

 bright, fresh appie-green color, 

 changing in the autumn to various 

 l)rilliant tones of orange, crimson and 

 scarlet. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per 

 doz.

AmPELOFsIS '1 HK 



AMPELOPSIS TRICOEOR 



(Vitis heterophylla variegata) 



A beautiful and desirable climber, with fine dark green foliage, wonderfully 

 variegated with white and pink; during the late summer and fall the plant is liber- 

 ally covered with attractive small berries of a peculiar lustrous metallic peacock 

 blue color; highly useful for trailing over rocks or for a low trellis. (See cut.) 

 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



AMPEEOPSIS VEITCHI 



(Boston Ivy, or Japan Ivy) 



The most popular climbing plant for covering brick, stone or wooden walls, 

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

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

 ing 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 condi- 

 tion, 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.) Two-year-old 

 plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
