PARTHENOCISSUS (Ampelopsis) ENGELMANNI. Scarlet Virginia Creeper. 15 to 50 ft. 
This is the clinging form of the well-linown Virginia Creeper, and was introduced by us several 
seasons ago. The leaves are much 
thinner and smaller than in the ordinary 
variety, the whole plant lacking the 
coarseness that characterizes P. qain- 
quefolia, and it clings to walls like the 
ivy. The fall coloring is exceedingly 
brilliant and vastly superior to the com- 
mon form, which is not used where the 
new variety is known and can be had.

VITIS • GRAPE 
All the Grapes are indispensable vines 
of many uses. Their large-cut, 
handsome leaves and showy fruit, 
as well as very fragrant flowc 
which come early, 
combine to give them

other vines. Of great hardiness and usually high climb- 
ers, they can be used for arbors, walls and trellises, and 
particularly for covering dead or growing trees, where they 
produce a beautiful effect by their graceful festooned 
growth. They stand the smoke and soot of cities well.

HETEROPHYLiLA. We could not leave out this graceful vine, 
which is of Japanese origin and of the greatest value for arbors, 
walls, trellises or woodland. The long clusters of white or blue- 
tinged fruit hang through the winter, but its especial charm is the 
foliage of light green, each leaf being delicately incised, or cut.
