Ampelopsis Tricolor. 



Extra strong plants, 25 cts. each; 



A31PELOPSIS 

 VEITCHI, 



(Boston Ivy, or Japan Ivy.) 



The most popular and de- 

 sirable climbing plant for 

 covering brick, stone or 

 wooden yvalls, trees, etc.; 

 when it becomes established 

 at the root it is of very rapid 

 growth, and clings to the 

 smoothest surface yvith the 

 tenacity of ivy ; the foliage is 

 of a rich olive-green during 

 the summer, changing to va- 

 rious shades of bright crim- 

 son and scarlet in the fall. 

 In planting Ampelopsis of 

 all kinds, the plants should 

 be cut down to within 6 inches 

 of the ground, so that the 

 new growth may cling to the 

 yvall or tree from the bottom 

 up. If planted out yvhen 2 

 or 3 feet high they would only 

 cling from where the young 

 growth started, leaving the 

 base loose. ( See cut. ) Strong 

 plants, 15 cts. each; §1.50 

 per doz.; §10.00 per 100. 

 §2.50 per doz.; §18.00 per 100. 



Aristolochia SlPHO. 



APIOS TIBEROSA. 



A valuable hardy tuberous-rooted climber, resembling in miniature 

 the common Wistaria in vine and foliage, and having clusters of rich, 

 deep purple flowers, yvhich have a strong, delicious violet fragrance. 

 They grow to a height of 8 to 10 feet, and bloom profusely. Plant 2 

 or 3 bulbs near together to produce a mass of vines and floyvers. 

 5 cts. each; 50 cts. per doz. 



ARISTOLOCHIA SIPHO. 



(Dutchman's Pipe Tine.) 



A vigorous and rapid-groyving climber, bearing singular broyvnish- 

 colored flowers, resembling in shape a pipe. Its flowers, however, are 

 of little value compared to its fine light-green leaves, which are of very 

 large size, and retain their color from early spring to late fall; perfectly 

 hardy. Extra strong plants, 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz.
