AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 
SOMETIMES CALLED “BOSTON IVY” AND "JAPAN 
IVY.” 
No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing 
f flant. It is adapted to all situations, and transforms the 
mmblest cottage. It is 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 woodwork with the great¬ 
est tenacity. It is a great protection to houses, as the leaves 
lapping over each other like slates on a roof effectually pre¬ 
vent rain from penetrating the walls. For covering dead 
trees, gate posts, boundary walls, verandas, 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 orange , so dazzling as to be seen at a great dis¬ 
tance. 
Prices: 1st size, pot-grown, 50 cts. each; 2d size, pot- 
grown, 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.
