Gold Medal Awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 1910. {> 
(Ready jor delivery in April.) 
CLEMATIS MONTANA RUBENS. See illustration on front 
page of cover. This beautiful hardy, new Clematis begins to 
bloom early in June when a profusion of soft rosy-red blooms 
resembling those of the Japanese Anemone are produced. 
As the flowers are borne on the young wood, they appear more 
or less freely until frost. A First Class Certificate was awarded 
to this plant by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. 
First size plants, each, $1.00; per dozen, $10.00; second size 
plants, each, .50; per dozen, $5.00. 
AMPELOPSIS HENRYANA. 
illustration on front page of cover. In habit, this new climber 
resembles our native woodbine. The ground color of the 
leaves is dark velvety green, with the mid-rib and principal 
veins silvery white. The foliage has a very striking appear- 
ance in autumn when the ground color changes to vivid red, 
the mid-rib and veins remaining white. In Massachusetts, 
this vine requires protection during winter, but would probably 
prove quite hardy south of New York, or even farther north 
where the influence of the ocean moderates the temperature. 
Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. 
Each, .75; dozen, $7.50. 
AMPELOPSIS THOMSONII. Vitis Thomsonii. Sce illus- 
tration on last page of cover. This charming new climber has 
proved hardy out-of-doors in Massachusetts during the past 
two winters. The leaves are greenish purple above, and bright 
claret color beneath; changing in the autumn to rich red

Each, .75; dozen, $7.59. 
LILIUM LEUCANTHEMUM. See illustration on last page of 
cover. Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous collector who found this 
new species in Northwestern China, describes it as—‘‘a strong 
growing lily, 5 to 6 ft, or more tall, well clothed with moderately 
broad leaves having bulbils in their axils. The flowers vary in 
number from five to ten, and usually rise from a common level, 
but occasionally the floral axis elongates; in shape and size they 
resemble the well known Lilium Harrisi, are greenish white 
with a suspicion of purple without and the purest white within. 
Occasionally the purple tinge reflects through on the inner sur- 
face of tube giving a charming and delicate effect.’’—Flower- 
ing bulbs, each, $2.00; per dozen, $20.00. 
POLYGONIUM MULTIFLORUM, A rapid growing vine fre- 
quently reaching 15 feet or more in height, the first season. 
It produces thick bright green heart-shaped leaves and a 
profusion of delicate white flowers resembling the finer 
Spiraeas. Each, 25;. dozen, $2.50. 
SORBARIA SORBIFOLIA. (Spirea.) This variety attains a 
height of six to eight feet, and, would be well worthy of a 
prominent place among garden shrubs for its rich green 
feathery foliage alone, which has a ferny appearance. Its 
further charm, is that it produces enormous panicles of white 
feathery flowers in September, when few shrubs bloom. 
Each 50 cents; dozen $5.00. 
Vitis Henryana. See 
R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON, JANUARY ist, 1911. 
Clematis montana rubens, 
CLEMATIS ARMANDI. A new, hardy species from the moun- 
tains of Western China of strong rampant growth and covered with 
a wealth of glossy, deep green, luxuriant foliage, which is evergreen. 
During the past two winters, it has stood in our nurseries with only 
a slight covering to keep off the sun. The individual flowers, of 
which there are from a dozen to thirty in a cluster, are about two 
inches across, white, often rosy pink on the back and fragrant. 
It begins to flower in May. This species is a rapid grower, and 
should prove very valuable for covering pergolas and trellises.
