the morning-glory vine. Certainly clematis is one of 

 the most lovely vines which grow wild on our country 

 highways and 

 by - ways ; in 

 August it is 

 covered with 

 dainty clusters 

 of starry blos- 

 soms, and in 

 October it is 

 rayed in the silver 

 gray of its plumed 

 seed vessels. It will 

 bear transplanting, 

 and flourishes in the cold- 

 est climate. I^o thing is 

 prettier than its graceful 

 branches decorating a rus- 

 tic fence. It flowers in 

 midsummer. Mme. Edou- 

 ard Andre is a new variety 

 of the vine in cultivation 

 with handsome reddish 

 flowers. O. graveolens is 

 a variety cultivated from 

 Thibet with yellow flowers. 



Cpaniculata is a beautiful clematis, or virgin's Bower.
