AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII 



(Sometimes called "Boston Ivy " and "Japan Ivy.") 



Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a height 

 of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years, clinging to stones, brick or 

 wood work with the greatest tenacity. It is a great protection to 

 houses, as the leaves, lapping over each other like slates on a 

 roof, effectually prevent rain from penetrating the walls. For 

 covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, etc., it has no 

 equal. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but 

 in the fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson 

 and orungr. Truly a grand sight. The most valuable vine cul- 

 tivated. Price, $7.00 per 100.
