AMPELOPSIS 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI UPON HOUSE 



PANICULATA (Japanese Virgin's Bower). 



— The finest of all hardy vines for airy grace 

 and beauty. It quickly grows to a height of 

 15 to 20 feet and spreads out in all directions. 

 In August and September, when most other 

 vines have ceased to bloom, it is completely 

 covered with a sheet of fleecy white, made up 

 of numerous pure white, star-like flowers on 

 long stems, and so fragrant that the air is per- 

 fumed to a great distance. Its masses of de- 

 lightful bloom remain until frost, and are suc- 

 ceeded by tufted seed pods. (See cut.) Two 

 year roots, each. 20c.; doz.. $2.00; 100, $12.00.

VEITCHI (Boston or Japanese Ivy).— The 



most popular and best of climbers for cover- 

 ing walls, etc., clinging firmly to brick, stone

 of deep, glossy-green foliage, which turns to 

 crimson and gold in autumn. The leaves are 

 ivy-shaped and lap closely over each other, 

 presenting a dense mass of foliage. Of rapid 

 growth. Although of frail habit, it is entirely 

 hardy. (See cut.) Two years, strong, each, 

 20c.; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00. Three years each,

 liant crirnson in autumn. Especially valuable 

 for covering summer or garden houses or any- 

 where that a dense, heavy vine growth is de- 

 sired. Strong, two years, each, 20c.; doz., 

 $2.00; 100, $12.00.
