Ampelopsis Veitchi (0) (Also Parthe- 
nocissus tricuspidata, var. veitchi) 
BOSTON IVY 
Location: Sun or shade. 
Soil: Ordinary garden soil. 
Ultimate Height: 40 to 60 feet. 
Probably the best know vine for covering walls and chim- 
neys. It climbs rapidly once it has firmly taken root and 
will cover an entire house in only a few short years. We 
have seen Boston and Thorndale Ivies happily growing 
together on a large apartment building with the evergreen 
Thorndale Ivy covering the lower part of the building and 
the dark green, glossy leaves of the Thorndale Ivy con- 
trasting béautifully against the lighter green of the Boston 
Ivy. Tolerates unfavorable growing conditions in city. 
Planting Distance: 6 to 12 feet or singly, depending 
upon individual situation.

Ampelopsis Lowi (0) 
MINIATURE BOSTON IVY 
Location: Sun or shade. 
Soil: Any good garden soil. 
Ultimate Height: 20 to 25 feet. 
This is a small-leaved deciduous vine which does not 
grow as rapidly as the regular Boston Ivy. The light 
green leaves, which drop in the fall, are daintier, deeply 
cut on finer stems. Because of its miniature character the 
Lowi Ivy is suitable for covering low garden walls, gate 
posts and rocks, etc. It is especially nice on house walls 
under and between windows where only a delicate lace- 
like tracery of vine is desired. 
Planting Distance: 6 to 12 feet or singly, depending 
upon individual situation.

Ampelopsis Quinquefolia 0) (Or 
Parthenocissus quinquefolia var. En- 
gelmanni.) 
VIRGINIA CREEPER 
Location: Sun or shade. 
Soil: Any good garden soil. 
Ultimate Height: 20 to 30 feet. 
This is a rapidly climbing vine with light green foliage 
which tums brilliantly in the fall. Its tendrils are without 
sucking discs and will cling better to fences and similar 
structures than to walls. We do not recommend it for 
covering house walls because of its rather rank growth. It’s 
a wonderful vine for wire fences, windmills on the farm, 
tree stumps, etc. 
Planting Distance: 6 to 12 feet on fences, depending 
upon individual situations.
