VINES 



AMPELOPSIS 



QUINQUEFOLIA (Virginia Creeper) — This 

 high climbing native vine achieves its popularity 

 through the fiery scarlet hue which it dons in 

 autumn. A rapid and vigorous grower. Strong, 2 

 year vines, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00. 



VEITCHI (tricuspidata.) (Boston Ivy, Japan- 

 ese Creeper) — The universal favorite, especially 

 in cities, where it thrives in spite of dust and smoke. 

 Clings firmly to any surface, covering a house with 

 such overlapping density that harmful moisture 

 cannot penetrate its glossy barrier. Crimson and 

 gold in autumn, with blue berries which attract 



the birds. Hardy and successful everywhere. 

 Strong, 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. 



ARISTOLOCHIA 



SIPHO (Dutchman's Pipe) — A vigorous and 

 rapid grower with large, heart-shaped leaves, 

 having curious brownish green flowers which re- 

 semble pipes. Grows 50 feet or more in a season. 

 Where shade is the most important factor we can 

 highly recommend this excellent plant because the 

 leaves are large and numerous. They are arranged 

 like shingles. Strong, 2 year plants, each, 90c; 

 dozen, $9.00.
