 35 cts.; per doz., $3.50. 



APIOS— Ground Nut.

 trellises and such like. It grows rapidly and produces pretty clusters of purple flowers,

CINNAMON VINE, or CHINESE YAM. 



(Dioscorea Batata.) 



A rapid climber and very desirable vine ; per- 

 lectly hardy. Each, 10 cts.; per doz., $1.00. 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



CLEMATIS. 



For covering large spaces quickly the Clematis 

 stands unrivaled. They may be planted at anytime. 

 The ground should be dug deeply and well manured ; 

 in fact, the ground cannot be made too rich for them_ 

 A little attention to this will amply repay you for 

 your trouble, as the plant will grow more vigorously 

 and consequently give a greater quantity of flowers. 



C. Coccinda — Scarlet; the flower looks more like a 

 bud than a blossom, and forms a striking contrast 

 when grown side by side with other varieties. Price> 

 25 cts. 



C. Crlspa — Lavender, bell-shaped flowers, very fra- 

 grant; habit robust, hardy and free-flowering. 

 Price, 25 cts. 



C. Henryi — Large," pure white flowers; free bloom- 

 er; one of the best varieties in cultivation.

ty, bearing a profusion of medium-sized flowers 

 of a bright wine-red color. It is a strong, free 

 grower and quite hardy. 



C. Jackmanni — Deep violet purple flowers pro- 

 duced in masses; one of the best. 



C. Madame Edward Andre— Entirely distinct 

 and novel sort, the nearest approach to a bright 

 red ever sent 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. 



C. Paniculate (Japanese Virgin's Bower) — It is 

 by no means surprising that this recent introduc- 

 tion from Japan should have so soon attained 

 such popularity, for it well merits all the atten- 

 tion bestowed upon it. Not only is it exceedingly 

 handsome, but it is also perfectly hardy in any 

 exposure, requiring no protection in the most se- 

 vere winters. The growth of the plant is rapid, 

 quickly covering walls, arbors, trellises or old 

 tree stumps. The leaves are small, dark green 

 and glossy. The flowers are medium in size, pure 

 white and most deliciously fragrant, and are pro- 

 duced in wondrous profusion in the early fall 

 months. We know of no Clematis which for so 

 little care will give so much satisfaction as Panic, 

 ulata, and where on account of lack of space only 

 a few such plants can be grown. We can with 

 confidence recommend this one as the peer of all 

 the Clematis. Price, each, 25 cts. Extra strong 

 plants, 75 cents. 



C. Ramona — A very hardy, strong-growing 

 sort, blooming profusely throughout the season- 

 Flower large, lavender color. 



Prices of above Clematis, except where noted, strong, 2-year old plants, each, 

 75 cents; 1-year old, each, 35 cents.
