 wealth of glossy, deep green, luxuriant foliage, which is cvcrgreon.

 there are often 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. Each, $1.00; dozen,

CLEMATIS montana rubens. See illustration. 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. 



Mr. A. E. Thatcher, Superintendent Mount Desert Xurseries, 

 Bar Harbor, Maine, writing of this plant, says: — "It is per- 

 fectly hardy, and for any position where the best hardy climbers 

 are desired no plant is better suited. It will grow successfully 

 in any good garden soil, fully exposed to the sun, and needs 

 but little attention. The flowers, about 2 inches across, are 

 produced in thousands on an established plant, which presents 

 one of the most beautiful objects possible to obtain in our 

 gardens. Clematis montana rubens is one of the most beauti- 

 ful hardy climbers it is possible to grow and should be in 

 every garden."
