A splendid climbing plant from Central Mexico, produc- ing rose-colored flowers in racemes 2 feet long. The pro- fusion of its bloom is such as to give the resemblance of roses at a distance; hence its Mexican name Rosa dc Mon- tana, or Mountain Rose. Described by its discoverer as the most beautiful climber he had ever beheld. This plant is moderately hardy, with protection. The vines are killed to the ground by frost; but as this plant has tuber- ous roots, it quickly shoots up in the spring and develops its flowers from June till frost. 30 cts. each ; 4 for $ Ampelopsis Veitchi—Japanese Creeper—Boston Creeper.
