HARDY CLIMBING VINES. 
Ornamentals of this class are so hardy, so easily grown, and so beautiful, that they 
■deserve greater attention than they receive. No artist can produce pictures equal to the 
wealth of beauty displayed by the elegant wistaria, the graceful honeysuckle, or the 
charming and magnificent clematis when in the glory of full bloom, and there is nothing 
in art that will in any degree compare with the gorgeous hues of the ampelopsis after it 
assumes its brilliant autumnal tints. 
AMPELOPSIS 
AMERICAN IVY, or VIRGINIA CREEPER.— (Quinquefolia.)— Also called Wood- 
bine. A very rapid grower, having beautiful, dark green foliage, which assumes 
rich crimson hues in autumn. 
VEITCHII.— (Veitch's Ampelopsis.)— Japan. Leaves a little smaller and more ivy- 
like in form than the foregoing. Overlapping each other they form a dense sheet 
of green. The plant requires a little protection the first winter until it is estab- 
lished, but after that it may be safely left to care for itself. It grows rapidly and 
clings to the surface of even a painted brick wall with great tenacity. The foliage 
is especially handsome in summer, and changes to a crimson-scarlet in autumn. 
CLIMBING BURNING BUSH. — (Euonymus radicans.) — An evergreen climber of 
exquisite beauty and great hardiness. It clings closely to stone, brick or wood. 
ARISLOTOCHIA, or DUTCHMAN'S PIPE 
SYPHO. — A rapid growing vine, with magnificent foliage, ten to twelve inches in 
diameter, and curious pipe-shaped yellowish brown flowers. 
HONEYSUCKLE. Loni )— 
CHINESE TWINING. — (Japonica.) — A well known vine, holding its foliage nearly 
all winter. Blooms in July and September, and is very sweet. 
HALL'S JAPAN.— (Halliana.)— A strong, vigorous, evergreen variety, with pure 
white flowers, changing to yellow. Very fragrant, covered with flowers from 
June to November. 
MONTHLY FRAGRANT. — (Belgica. ) — Blooms all summer. Flowers red and yellow. 
Very sweet. 
SCARLET TRUMPET. — (Sempervirens. ) — A strong grower, and produces scarlet 
inodorous flowers all summer. 
IVY — (Hedera.)— 
The evergreen ivies often suffer in winter if exposed to the sun, and should therefore 
be planted on the north side of a wall or building. 
ENGLISH. — (Helix.) — A well known old and popular sort. 
VARIEGATED-LEAVED.— (Fol. variegata. )— With smaller leaves than the pre- 
ceding, variegated with white.
