"SILVkRY-SWkEJ " VINE. (flctinidla Poluaama.) True. 
A now, hardy climber, from Japan, of remarkable beauty. The foliage on the 
ends of the flowering shoots is of a glistening silvery-white color, giving the 
whole vine, from a little distance, the appearance of being covered with large 
white flowers blooming among its bright green leuves. The effect is very marked 
and beautiful. The llowers, which appear in this latitude about the middle of 
Juno, lasting from two to three weeks, are creamy white in color with numer¬ 
ous stamens with bright yellow anthers, and remarkably sweet, resembling the 
Lily of the Valley in fragrance. (See cut.) 
Price, 1st size, extra strong vinos, $1.00 each; 2d size, strong 2-year vines, 
75c. each; 3d size, strong 1-year vines, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITGH1I. (Sometimes called “Boston Ivy” and “Japan Ivy.”) 
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 wood work with the greatest 
tenacity. It Is a groat protection to houses, as the leaves, lapping over each 
other like slates on a roof, effectually prevent rain from penetrating the walls. 
For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, etc., it has no equal. In 
tho 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. Price, 1st size, extra strong pot-grown, 30c. each, $3.00 per 
doz.; 2d size, pot-grown, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.
