Variedafefl Ampelopsis, —T send you, by mail, 
some needling plants of Ampelopsis variegata. 
In your notice of an article written by me in the 
Germantown Telegraph, you said you had grown 
them from seed, but none of them were varie¬ 
gated. Last year I raised 25 seedlings, and they 
were nil variegated; and this year I had nearly 
200 , and all variegated, more or less, on the ap- 
pearanco of the first, leaf, of which these T send 
you are a sample. It scorns strange that mine 
are all variegated and those yon raised not at 
all. 1 Bend a satnplo, to show you how beauti¬ 
ful they aro. and hope they will arrive safely and 
grow to be things of beauty. T have a beautiful 
variegated ivy, that I have had several years, 
and set good store by; but it, does not thrive 
and grow well. It looks healthy, but has not 
grown more than six niches in the past year. It 
is potted in good, mellow garden-soil—a rioh, 
gravelly loam. Does the ivy need peculiar treat¬ 
ment. and what shall I do. or add to the soil to 
make it grow ?— Mrs. Many Ous. 
There are. doubtless, many plants of tlio Vari¬ 
egated Ampelopsis that will reproduce themselves 
from seed, without any considerable variation ; 
while others, under Ichs favorable conditions, 
may do otherwise, as in the case to which we re¬ 
ferred last season. The variegation in such 
plants is but a freak of naiuro at most, and it is 
not at all strange that there should he an occa¬ 
sional reversion to original types. 
The plants sent us arrived in good order, and 
show the usual varigation of leaves. 
The variegated ivies do not appear to be as 
strong and healthy growers as the plain-loaf va¬ 
rieties and species. Btill, under certain condi¬ 
tions, they do well. A soil composed of leaf- 
mold, old broken bricks and gravel, suits them 
better than a heavy, compact soil. They require 
plenty of moisture, but at the same time good
