JAMES VICK’S SONS, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
A lost Decided 
This Japanese variegated Hop was was intro¬ 
duced in Europe by the well known German 
specialist, Roemer, and we are the first to offer 
it for sale in America. It has interested all who 
ha ve seen it growing in good condition. At a lit¬ 
tle distance it looks like a mass of small white 
flowers, spotted in amongst the green. The 
illustrations shown are direct from the plants. 
It is an annual, a very rapid grower, useful 
and ornamental. The leaves (averaging from 
6 to 7 inches across) are beautifully and distinct¬ 
ly marked with silvery white, yellowish green 
and dark green, partly regularly striped, as well 
as mai bled and blotched. In many cases the leaves are almost white, and no 
green-leaved branches appear. This is not to be confounded with Humulus Japon- 
lca on page 54, which has only green leaves. 
It is not injuied by insects, does not suffer from the heat and it retains its fresh, lovely variegated and densely packed 
<> idM un,t cut down by frost! The plant is very vigorous, and will rapidly cover porches, fences, summer houses and 
rustic arches and gateways. Price , per packet , 25 cents.
