We are ready to help you in this situation, and with this in view, we have prepared the following climbers in pots so that 

 they can be planted any time this summer, thus gaining a season's growth, and 

 be ready to add their charm to your garden next summer.

 green, shining foliage and greenish white flowers with purple centres, which are

 grace and elegance entirely distinct from the old type. In spring and summer 

 the leaves are a bright, fresh, apple-green color, changing in the autumn to 

 various brilliant tones of orange, crimson and scarlet. Strong plants, 50 cts.

 smoothest surface 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. (See cut.) Extra strong two-year-old plants,

 spring to late fall; perfectly hardy. Strong plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
