Standard Shrubs. 
The practice of training shrubs into tree form is a 
new departure and has proved to be very satisfac¬ 
tory. For centres of beds, groups, etc., or for straight 
lines bordering walks, they are especially adapted. A 
collection of Althaeas will prove more reliable and 
satisfactory, we believe, than Tree Roses.

75c. each, $Q.50 per 10. Special selected, .^1 each.

HARDY CLmBINC SHRUBS AND PLANTS. 
Ampelopsis Veitchii or Boston Ivy. 
Ampelopsis Veitchii—Sometimes called Boston or Japan Ivy. It is rapidly attaining prominence, being 
used to decorate the finest residences. An example of it is seen on one of the most noted churches in New 
York, Grace Church, Broadway. Throughout the most fashionable parts of Boston there are hundreds of 
the finest houses covered with this most beautiful vine from the ground to the roof, and it can be seen in 
manj" places going to the top of chimneys, a beautiful sight in summer witli its glossy leaves lapping over 
each other like shingles on a roof. In the fall it assumes the most gorgeous and beautiful tints of scarlet, 
crimson, green and orange, so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. It is a great benefit to houses, as 
the leaves lapping over each other prevent rain from penetrating the walls. For covering gate posts and 
walls it has no equal. AH are field-grown plants and will give better satisfaction than if grown in pots. 
We have over 100,000 of this valuable vine growing, therefore we are sure that no one can compete with 
us either in quality or prices. 
First size, 3 to 4 feet, 2oc. each, $2 per 10, $15 per 100. Second size, 2 to 2^^ feet, 15c. each, $1.25 per 10, 
$10 per 100. Third size, 12 to 15 inches, 10c. each, 80c. per 10, .$5 per 100. 
A. Purpurea—New, similar to A. Veitchii but foliage 
is heavier, larger leaf, better grower, and finer color 
in fall. 3 to 4 feet, 25c. each, $2.50 per dozen. 
A. Quinquefolia (American Ivy or VirginiaCreeper) 
—Has beautiful digitate leaves that become rich 
crimson in autumn; a very rapid grower. Like the 
bignonia and ivy, it throws out tendrils and roots 
at the joints, by which it fastens itself to anything 
it touches. Good for covering walls, verandas or 
trunks of trees; affords shade quickly. 15c. and 
25c. each, and very heavy plants 35c. each; good 
plants, $12 per 100; smaller size, good roots, $8
