THE CHASE NURSERIES. 
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 com- 
pare with the gorgeous hues of the Anipelopsis after it assumes its brilliant 
autumnal tints. 
AMPELOPSIS. 
AMERICAN IVY, or VIRGINIA CREEPER (Quinquefolia). Also called 
woodbine. A very rapid grower, having beautiful, dark green foliage, 
which assumes rich crimson hues in autumn. 
VETTCHII (Veitch's Ampelopsis). 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 established, but after that it may be safely left to 
care for itself. It grows rapidh', and clings to the surface of even a 
painted brick wall with great tenacity. The foliage changes to a 
crimson scarlet in autumn. 
ARISTOLOCHIA, 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. 
AKEBIA. 
QUINATA, A rapid-growing climber, with dark green leaves and purple 
flowers. Blooms in early summer. 
HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera). 
CHINESE TWINING (Japonica). A well-known vine, holding its fol- 
iage 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. 
JAPAN GOLD-LEAVED (Brachypoda aureo reticulata.) Handsome and 
very desirable variety, the foliage beautifully netted or variegated 
with yellow. 
MONTHLY FRAGRANT (Belgica). Blooms all summer. Flowers red 
aaid 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 the wall or building. 
ENGLISH (Helix). A well-known, old, and popular sort. 
VARIEGATED-LEAVED (Fol. variegata). With smaller leaves than 
the preceding, variegated with white.
