plumed fruits. It can be used for ground cover in somewhat shaded spots, is 

 indifferent to soil conditions, and almost unfailing in its good garden behavior. 



CLEMATIS TANGUTICA GOLDEN CLEMATIS 



Bright yellow, lantern-shaped flowers in early autumn, followed by attractive 

 masses of plumed seeds. It comes up each year with many relatively short 

 stems, and is best if planted to fall forward over a retaining wall or on a bank. 



CLEMATIS TEXENSIS (C. coccinea) Scarlet Clematis 



Scarlet to rose-pink, urn-shaped flowers in June and occasionally thereafter 

 until frost. Of high garden value as a graceful, non-rampant climber. 



Clematis virginiana VlRGIN's BOWER 



A rampant native species adapted to a wild, somewhat shaded, landscape 

 where it may clamber about on near-by woody plants. White flowers from 

 July to September. In gardens it is inferior to C. paniculata. 



CLEMATIS VITICELLA var. KERMESINA 



Wine-red, two-inch flowers on a thrifty, medium-textured plant from June 

 to August. Markham reports maximum height of eight feet. 



Clerodendron trichotomum HARLEQUIN GlORYBOWER 



A course, suckering shrub for planting in large, wild masses in warmer sections 

 or elsewhere where it can sprout up unchecked if frozen down. Not valuable 

 as an individual plant. The late, whitish, fragrant flowers are followed in 

 early autumn by blue-black fruits set off by a background of persistent crimson 

 flower parts. 



Clethra acuminata ClNNAVON CLETHRA 



A larger, more vigorous, deciduous shrub than C. alnifolia, with larger 

 flower clusters from July to September.

A medium to large, upright, native, deciduous shrub of moist places in 

 sun or partial shade. Fragrant white flowers in erect panicled racemes from 

 July to September. Foliage yellow in autumn. A plant of considerable value 

 for certain phases of wild roadside development. Var. rosea has pinkish flowers. 



Clethra barbinervis TREE CLETHRA 



A still larger Clethra reaching as much as forty feet in height. Flower 

 clusters large and fragrant. Stems and framework of plant interesting in 

 winter. 



Clinopodium georgianum (C. carolinianum) 



An eighteen-inch, free-branching, evergreen shrub with pink, mint-like 

 flowers from September on. An easily transplanted rock-garden plant. 



COMPTONIA ASPLENIIFOLIA (Myrica aspleniifolia) Sweet-Fern 



A loose-branched, aromatic, deciduous shrub with dark, fern-like leaves, 

 which has the ability to advance quickly over raw roadside cuts in dry, sub- 

 neutral, sandy or gravelly soils and pile up a pleasing, graceful, ground-covering 

 mass to a height of some five feet. 



Coralberry — See Symphoricarpus orbiculatus 



Corema Conradii BrOOM-CrOWBERRY
