HARDY VINES. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 
Sometimes Called “ Boston Ivy ” and “ Japan Ivy.” 
No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing 
plant. It is adapted to all situations, and transforms the 
humblest 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 greatest 
tenacity. It is a great protection to houses,* as the leaves lap¬ 
ping over each other like slates on a roof effectually prevent 
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 distance.
