A. quinquefolia. AMERICAN Ivy, or Virginian Creeper. Has beautiful 
digitate leaves that become rich crimson in autumn; a very rapid 
grower. Like the Bignonia and Ivy, it throws out tendrils aud roots 
at the joints, by which it fastens itself to anything it touches, One

colored in autumn. 35c. 
A. Veitchii. Japan Creeper. Boston Ivy. Leaves smaller than those of the American, and overlap one another, 
forming a dense sheet of green. The plant is a little tender while young, and requires protection the first 
winter; but once established, there is no further risk. It grows rapidly and clings to wall or fence with 
the tenacity of Ivy; the foliage is very handsome in summer, and changes to crimson scarlet in autumn. 
For covering walls, stumps of trees, rockeries, etc., no plant is so useful. For the ornamentation of brick 
and stone structures, it can be specially recommended. 35e.

three-lobed leaves, and small clusters of dark colored fruit. 35c. 
CLEMATIS. Virgin’s Bower. Waldrebe, Ger. Clematite, Fr. 
None among hardy perennials exceed in beauty and effectiveness the finer sorts of Clematis. As a climber for 
the veranda, a screen for fences, for pillars along the garden walks, for training on walls or arbors, in masses on 
rockwork, or cultivation in pots, it has no rival among strong-growing blossoming plants. The Clematis should be 
grown m rich, deep, sandy loam, and be well mulched with rotten manure in winter. The richest sheets of bloom 
and largest flowers are obtained where it has partial shade and a liberal supply of water at the roots. 
After many years’ experience we have come to the conclusion to grow only a few varieties which have proved 
worthy of general cultivation. The leading and best varieties are Jackmanni, Alexandra, Henryi and Siebolaii.
