Annihilator 

 of Space 



^"A 



To be within arm's reach of distant 

 cities it is only necessary to be within 

 arm's reach of a Bell Telephone. It 

 annihilates space and provides instanta- 

 neous communication, both near and far. 



There can be no boundaries to a tele- 

 phone system as it is now understood 

 and demanded. Every community is 

 a center from which people desire com- 

 munication in every direction, alv/ays 

 with contiguous territory, often with 

 distant points. Each individual user 

 may at any moment need the long 

 distance lines which radiate from his 

 local center. 



An exchange which is purely local 

 has a certain value. If, in addition to 

 its local connections, it has connections 

 with other contiguous localities, it has 

 a largely increased value. 



If it is universal in its connections and 

 inter-communications, it is indispens- 

 able to all those whose social or business 

 relations are more than purely local. 



A telephone system which under- 

 takes to meet the full requirements of 

 the public must cover with its ex- 

 changes and connecting links the whole 

 country. 



The Bell Telephone System annihilates space for 

 the business man to-day. It brings him and any of 

 his far-away social or business interests together.

Three Clematis Hybrids 



THE famous French hybridizer, Lemoine, has 

 secured three hybrids of Clematis montana, 

 which should be of great interest to Americans 

 since it has been discovered that this species 

 can be grown as far north as Philadelphia. The 

 great attractions of this Himalayan clematis are: 



(i) It blooms in May, being the only spring 

 blooming clematis of importance other than C. 

 cartdea, a Japanese species. 



(2) Its fragrance has the same peculiarity as that 

 of the grape and the lime, i. e., you can hardly detect 

 it close at hand, but several yards away it fills the 

 air. Thus it gives mystery and charm to a garden. 



The Himalayan clematis (Clematis moniana) 



because it is sometimes difficult to trace this haunt- 

 ing but elusive odor to its source. (See Kerner's 

 "Natural History of Plants," Vol. 2, page 207.) 



(3) The flower has the beauty of a spring anem- 

 one, having four white sepals about an inch long, 

 which finally become pink. 



(4) This climber is not suited for stiff training, 

 but has a great reputation in England for making 

 fumbling masses and garlands. (See Jekyll's 

 "Color in the Flower Garden," pages 108, 112.) 



Lemoine says that his new hybrids were produced 

 by crossing C. moniana, var. grandiflora, and C. 

 montana, var. rubens. Grandiflora has flowers 

 three to four inches across, and rubens is probably 

 the reddest or pinkest variety known. Lemoine 

 obtained many new sorts but the only ones worth 

 saving were: 



(i) Lilacina, a variety with azure-lilac flowers. 



(2) Perfecta, bluish-white, perfect in form, and 

 a third larger than grandiflora. 



(3) Undulata, remarkable for its wavy sepals. 

 Flowers, three inches across, white, tinted azure. 



These varieties were sent out for the first time 

 in 1909. As soon as anyone in America blooms 

 them satisfactorily, we hope he will send photo- 

 graphs and particulars to The Garden Magazine.
