ACHILLEA. 
The Virginia Creeper, a native of our woods and waste- 
places, is known and prized almost all over the world. 
These hardy climbers are invaluable for covering arbors, 
1 old stumps, trees, etc., and should be used freely. The 
general cultivation of the simple Virginia Creeper has 
1 done more to beautify American villages and rural homes 
than any fifty plants in existence. It is the American 
i Ivy, and well performs the work done by the old English 
; Ivy in Europe. 
Ampelapsis quinquefolia, or Virginia Creeper,

most rapid growing climber we have, ... 25. 
Veitchii, from Japan ; a most beautiful Climber, 
and fast becoming a great favorite ; it is a splen¬

perfectly, and on this account, and the beauty 
of its foliage, it is entirely satisfactory to those 
who cultivate it,. 23.

Anemone Japonica alba,, 
one of the best hardy, 
white - blooming, autumn¬

summer, with dark green 
foliage; but in the latter 
part of summer flower- 
stems appear, growing 
eighteen inches high, with 
white flowers. It bears 
from a score to a hundred 
flowers, continuing to im¬ 
prove until destroyed by 
frost. The flowers are about 
two inches in diameter. 
Excellent for cemeteries..
