A singular Japanese climbing shrub, vnth fine foliage, purple flowers and ornamental fruit. A good climber, grows 6 to lo feet in a season, the American, but is more slender in growth and shorter jointed, with AMPELOPSIS. JUXGFERXWEIX, Gcr. YlGXE-VlERGE, Fr. A. quinquefolia. American Ivy, or Virginian Creeper, 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. One of the finest vines for cov- ering walls, verandas or trunks of trees; affords shade quickly. 35c. var. Engelmanni. Shorter jointed than quinquefolia. var. muralis. Resembles smaller leaves. 50c. A. Roylei. From Japan. Resembles the American, but is more vigorous; foliage larger, and remarkably high-colored in autumn. 50c. A. Veitchii. Japan Creeper. Boston Ivy. Leaves smaller than those of the American, and overlap one another, forming a dense sheet of green. The plant is a little tender while young, and requires pro- tection the first %\-inter ; but once established, there is no further risk. It grows rapidly and clings to wall or fence ^\-ith the tenacity of Ivy ; the foliage is very handsome in summer, and changes to crimson scarlet in autumn. For covering walls, stumps of trees, rockeries, etc., no plant is so useful. For the ornamentation of brick and stone structures, it can be specially recommended. 35c. ARISTOLOCHIA. Birthwort. Osterluzei, Ger. Aristoloche. Fr. A. Sipho. Dutchman's Pipe. A native species, of cHmbing habit and rapid growth, v<\\\\ magnificent light green foliage; 10 to 12 inches in diameter, and curious pipe-shaped, yellowish brown flowers. 75c. CELASTRUS. Staff Tree.
