CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



CLEMATIS HENRY//. 



A pure white, large-flowering variety, of fine form, and recognized as by 

 far the finest of the single white sorts. It is a much stronger grower 

 than most of the other varieties, and is entirely hardy. Excellent for 

 cemeteries, or wherever a hardy climber is desired. 



Large, strong plants, 75 cts. each, S7.50 per dozen. 



2d size 60 " 6.00 



CLEMATIS LUCIE LEMOINE. 



This variety is distinct from the above in form, it being perfectly 

 double, like a rosette. It is sweetly fragrant, and equally hardy and 

 vigorous with the others. No collection is complete without it. 

 Price, 1st size, large plants, 75 cts. each, S7.50 per dozen.

Clematis, Large Flowering, Assorted. 



In addition to those mentioned above, we can supply double blue, 

 single blue, lilac, lavender and many intermediate shades, all strong 

 plants. Price, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per dozen. 



CLEMATIS COCCI NE A. 



Bright vermilion scarlet has been a color hitherto unknown in Clematis, 

 but in this sort we have that color which, when placed in contrast with the 

 blue, purple and white kinds, has a most striking effect. The form of the 

 flowers is different from the others preceding ; they are about \)% in- long, 

 1 in. thick at the base, round and tapering to 3^ in. at the neck. The 

 petals, four in number, are curved back so as to reveal the yellow inte- 

 rior of the flowers. It is equally hardy as the other well-known sorts. 

 25 cts. each, $2.25 per dozen. 



CLEMATIS CRISP A. 



Although a native of the Southern States, it is entirely hardy. Like all 

 the other Clematis, it is a rapid climber and profuse bloomer. The flowers 

 are bell-shaped, purplish blue, and emit a rich fragrance. Price, 25 cts. 

 each, $2.25 per dozen. 



CLEMATIS FLAMMULA. 



"Fragrant Virgin's Bower.'' This is an old and well-known species, 

 entirely distinct from the above ; flowers pure white, deliciously fragrant. 

 The plants attain a height of twenty feet, and, when trained on trellis 

 work and in full bloom, look like a mass of snow. The odor is perceptible 

 at a distance of 200 yards. Hardy. 25 cts. each, $2.25 per dozen. 



OLE MAT IS RANIOULATA. 



One of the most beautiful of our hardy-flowering vines. The flowers 

 are pure white, and are borne in great panicles or clusters of bloom, 

 fairly covering the plant, so that it is a mass or sheet of fleecy white. 

 These clusters are borne on long slender stems, which stand out boldly 

 from between the glossy green leaves, and the gentlest breeze causes 

 wavy crests of white to flow gently over their surface. The fragrance is 

 delicious, resembling the English hawthorn blossoms, and is so subtile 

 and penetrating that a large plant in bloom will fill the air with fragrance. 

 It begins to bloom late in August or early in September, at a time when 

 most other hardy climbers are out of bloom, an inestimable advantage. 

 It is a strong, rapid grower, quickly reaching a height of from 15 to 20 

 feet, and spreading out when trained to wires or strings. It is perfectly 

 hardy in all sections of the country, and we can unhesitatingly say that 

 it is, in our opinion, the most valuable among hardy climbing vines. 

 {See cut.) Price, 30 cts. each, $3.00 per doz.

LARGE FLOWERING. 



The Clematis is entirely hardy, blooming during the entire season, 

 embracing a great variety of color, of the most beautiful tints of blue, 

 purple, lavender, scarlet, white, etc. ; double and single — some of the 

 flowers being sis inches in diameter. They are all climbers, and, if 

 trained carefully, attain a height of from five to fifteen feet in one 

 season. 



CLEMATIS JACKMANII. 



The best known and most valued variety of this popular family. A 

 perfect mass of bloom when in full flower. Color, dark, rich, royal 

 purple. It is the variety shown in the engraving, which gives a fair idea 

 of this superb Clematis. (See ait.)
