Clematis Jlammula^ or Sweetest Virgin's Bower. This is 

 of rapid growth, but its shoots are more delicate than many 

 others; it will mount, by assistance, to 15 or 20 feet in 

 height ; the leaves are ternate, the flowers white, and yield-

 so numerous as almost to totally cover the plant, and are 

 produced in June, July, and August.

 expansion of its foliage, and in autumn is loaded with quan-
