been almost lost to commercial floriculture. It is a handsome, rapid-growing

flowers as the shrubby species. It clings with great tenacity to any tree or 
building by which it may bo planted and attains a height of fifty feet. It 
blooms about July and remains a long time in flower. The illustration was 
made from a photograph of a plant growing on the beautiful Ames Estate, North 
Easton, Mass., and fairly represents it. (See cut.) Price, 1st size plants, $1.50 
each; 2d size, $1.00 each; 3d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.

necessary than Hartly Vines. The collection wo offer contains, we believe, 
the best climbing plants for permanent effects known at present time.

‘‘Boston ” or “Japan” Ivy (Ampelopsis Veltchil), and Honeysuckles. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII.

tonacity. It is a groat protection to houses, as the leaves lapping over eacli 
other like slates on a roof effectually prevents rain from penetrating the walls. 
For covering dead troes, gale posts, boundary walls, etc., it has no equal. In 
tho summer the folingo 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
