CLEMATIS. 



For covering large spaces quickly the Clematis 

 stands unrivaled. They may be planted at any 

 time. The ground should be dug deeply and 

 well manured. A little attention to this will 

 amply repay you for your trouble, as the plant 

 will grow more vigorously and gise a greater 

 quantity of flowers.

 like a bud than a blossom, and forms a striking 

 contrast when grown side by side wltti other va- 

 rieties. Price, 20 cts.

 fragrant; habit robust, hardy and free-flowering.

 duced in masses; one of the best.

 red ever lent out. It resembles Jackmanni In 

 freedom of bloom, strong, vigorous growth and 

 size of flower, which Is of a pleasing carmine 

 red color. A most desirable variety.

 cut. An exceedingly attractive and handsome
