Clematis Armandi. 



A NUMBER of these i)lant.s were offered by us last year for the first time. We 

 ■"■ now offer for the first time another group of these plant treasures. 



They are attracting universal interest, many orders coming from Europe, 

 Japan and other distant parts of the globe. 

 They are unquestionably the finest plant novelties e.xtant. 



AMPELOPSIS Henpyana. (Vitis Henpyana.) in hahii, tliis ww climhpr 



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 appearance in autumn when the ground color changes to vivid red, the 



mid-rib and vein remaining white. In Massachusetts, this vine requires protection 



during winter, but would prohaljly prove quite hard}' south of New York, or 



even farther north where the influence of the ocean moderates the temperature.
