CLIMBERS. 



AMPEZ.OPSIS VEITCHII (Boston or

 beautiful climber; it is entirely hardy, and 

 can adapt itself to any locality or expos- 

 ure; clings fast to stone, brick or wooden 

 walls, and is extensively used on resi- 

 dences, churches, factories, etc., where in 

 summer it covers all with a perfect mat of 

 dark green leathery foliage, which changes 

 as autumn approaches to brilliant crim- 

 son; the foliage serves as a great protec- 

 tion to buildings, the leaves lapping over 

 like tiles on a roof, preventing effectually 

 the rain from penetrating the walls.

 borne in graceful racemes or clusters, with 

 tendrils at the end of the racemes. Out- 

 side of flower rose color; centre of a much 

 deeper tint. To insure early flowering 

 procure strong plants, then plant deeply 

 in good, well-drained soil. 15c. each;

 our handsomest hardy perennials, bearing

 back and restrained. Usual height, ten to 

 thirty feet. Prices, 35c., 50c., 75c. and
