HUIV1ULUS JAPONICUS. 

 JAPANESE HOP. 



No. .59.58. New annual Ho]) from Japan. A very orna- 

 mental and extremely fast growing climbing plant. The 

 foliage resembles in shape that of the common Hop (H. 

 Lupulus), but has more incisions, is very dense and in 

 color a lively green ; the stems and leaves are somewhat 

 rough and hairy. A most valuable feature of this new 

 climbing plant is, that it can be sown in the ojien ground 

 in spring, and that it attains enormous dimensions in a 

 very short time. Undoubtedly one of the best climbers for 

 covering verandas, trellises, etc., never suffering from the 

 heat or being destroyed by insects like so many other good 

 climbing plants, but retaining its fresh color until late in 

 the autumn. Per pkt., 25 cts.
