AND CLIMBING 



CELASTRUS 



C. scandens. Bittersweet. A rapid -growing, climbing shrub, with orna- 

 mental, light green foliage, yellow flowers in June and bright orange-yellow 

 and crimson fruit in autumn. A most suitable plant for covering trees, 

 rocks, rough walls and trellis work. It is also found an excellent grower on 

 steep banks, as it increases by suckers and helps to keep steep slopes from 

 washing. 



CLEMATIS 



C. coccinea. A rapid -growing, handsome and hardy sort, with good 

 foliage, and covered from June to late fall with bright coral-red flowers. 



C. crispa. A beautiful delicate species, bearing from June until frost beau- 

 tiful fragrant, purplish or lavender-colored flowers. 



C. Flammula. Sweet Clematis. A hardy, rapid climber, with small, 

 dark green foliage which remains until late in the winter, and in the early fall 

 the plant is covered with small white fragrant flowers. An excellent sort for 

 the porch or the trellis. 



C. graveolens ; syn., orientalis. A strong, rapid climber, with smooth, 

 shining foliage, and bearing in August and September light yellow flowers. 



CLEMATIS LANUGINOSA HYBRIDS

 for porch, trellis or garden work. Their perfect hardiness, together with their 

 good foliage and magnificent flowers, make them a most desirable class of plants.
