Ever-Blooming HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX. 
2 The new French varieties all carry very fine, distinct, pure 
colors,in great trusses many of them beautifully shaded and 
marked with very distinct, clear, bright eyes. They require no 
care but dividing and resetting every second year. Their vigor- 
ous growth and freedom of bloom make them very useful plants, 
while they are unexcelled in beauty. The improvement made 
in this beautiful class of plants is perhaps more marked than.n 
any othr section of the hardy, herbaceous family Instead of 
the thin flowers, which were limited to lilac and white colors, I 
now have gorgeous colors, combining all the different tnts of 
rose, carmine, red, and purple, to say nothing of pure whites and 
salmon, with their distinct eyes. Perfectly hardy everywhere.

are beautifully striped cross-wise, 
with broad, white variegations on 
a dark green ground. A rare and 
beautiful plant which should be

other plants will not thrive. When

once apparent. It has a singular 
beauty for decorative purposes 
which other plants do not possess 
and is useful both Winter an 
Summer. Though grown mainly

ering plant. It blooms usually

great plume-like spikes a foot or 
more in length. The flowers are 
numerous and composed of iong, 
narrow petals, which recurve

CLEMATIS PANICULATA. JAPANESE VIR- 
GIN’S BOWER. 
One of the most beautiful of our hardy flowering vines. The 
flowers are pure white, and are borne in great panicles or clusters 
of bloom, fairly covering the plant, sothat itis a mass or sheet 
ot fleecy white. These clusters are borne on long, slender stems, 
which stand out boldly from between the glossy-green leaves, 
and the gentlest breeze causes wavy crests of white to flow 
gently over their surface. The fragrance is delicious, resembling 
the English Hawthorne blossoms, and is so subtle and penetrat- 
ing that a large plant in bloom will fill the air with fragrance. It 
begins to bloom late in August or early in September, at a time 
when most other hardy climbers are out of bloom, an inestimable 
advantage. It is a strong, rapid grower, quickly peer a 
height of from fifteen to twenty feet,and spreading out when 
trained to wires or string. It is perfectly hardy in all sections of 
the country, and we can unhesitatingly say that itis, in our opin- 
ion. the most valuable among hardy climbing vines. Price, 26 
cents each.
