variety except that it has generally small- 
er foliage and is a little more refined.

for brick, stone or stucco walls, clinging 
without artificial fastening.

Ivy. A small slender vine and more deli- 
cate in every respect. Useful for low 
stone walls. Exquisite autumn coloring.

large, light green leaves which retain 
their color from early spring to late fall.

ble a miniature pipe.
