HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
Ornamentals of this class- are so hardy, so easily grown, and so beautiful, that they 
ueseive 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 
ai t that will in any degree compare with the gorgeous hues of the ampelopsis after it assumes 
its brilliant autumnal tints. 
Ampelopsis Veitchii, or Boston Ivy — 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 rapidly and clings to the surface of even 
a painted brick wall with great tenacity. The foliage changes to crimson scarlet in 
autumn. 
Aristolochia (Dutchman’s Pipe) — A rapid growing vine, with magnificent foliage, ten to 
twelve inches in diameter, and curious pipe-shaped, yellowish-brown flowers.
