AMPELOPSIS 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI UPON HOUSE 



VEITCHI. Boston or Japanese Ivy.— The most 

 popular and best of climbers for covering walls, 

 etc., clinging firmly to brick, stone or other 

 material, and forming a perfect coat 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, 15c.; dozen, $1.50; 100, 

 $10.00. Extra strong, each, 25c.; dozen, $2.50; 

 100, $15.00. 



VIRGINICA. Virginia Creeper or American 

 Ivy. — Of rapid, vigorous growth, covering trellises, 

 arbors, etc., quickly with a mass of bright green 

 foliage, which turns to a brilliant crimson in au- 

 tumn. Strong, 2 years, each, 20c.; dozen, $2.00; 

 100,^ $12.00. 



Foamy Flowered Clematis 



GRAVEOLENS (Orientalis).— 



A species of rapid growth, attain- 

 ing a height of 12 to 15 feet and 

 quite similar in every way to the 

 popular G. panicidata, except in 

 color of flowers, which are lemon 

 yellow and absence of fragrance. 

 It blooms earlier in the season and 

 is an excellent companion for it. 

 Two years, each, 20c.; dozen, 

 $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



PANICULATA (Japanese Vir- 

 gin's Bower).— The finest of all 

 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 perfumed to a great distance. Its masses of delightful bloom remain 

 until frost, and are succeeded bv tufted seed pods. (See Cut.) 



Two-vear roots, each, 15c.; dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. Extra heavy roots, each, 20c.; dozen, $2.00; 

 100, $12.00. 



LARGE FLOWERED CLEMATIS 



So graceful and refined in habit, too much can 

 scarcely be said in favor of these Clematis. Those 

 off'ered are all entirely hardy; requiring no pro- 

 tection and very little care to produce annually 

 a mass of bloom utterly impossible to describe. 

 After carefully testing the scores of varieties 

 named in the European catalogs, I have selected 

 the following as decidedly the most distinct and 

 valuable of them all. Each one is a gem. The 

 plants are all two years old, grown upon their 

 own roots and will bloom freely at once. 



HENRYI. — The best variety, producing large, 

 white flowers. Its large clear, ivory white flowers 

 appear in great numbers throughout the summer. 



JACKMANNI. — The most popular of the large 

 flowered varieties. Its flowers are rich, velvety 

 violet-plum and are produced in such profusion 

 as to form a veritable cloud of bloom. 



JACKMANNI RUBRA.— The red Jackmanni 

 and similar to the popular Jacl'manni in all re- 

 spect except in color of the flowers. 



MME. BARON-VEILLARD.— A strong grower 

 and an exceedingly free bloomer. It blooms later 

 than the others of its class and continues until 

 frost. Flowers large and rosy-lilac. 



MME. EDOUARD ANDRE.— Also of the Jack- 

 manni type. The flowers are usually six petaled, 

 of a pleasing shade of rosy-carmine and are pro- 

 duced in bewildering profusion. 



Each, 25c.; dozen, $2.50. A set of the five 

 sorts for $1.00.
