CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



FRAGRANT WHITE CLEMATIS. 



Clematis Paniculata. 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 

 Tines. (See cut.) Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 



LARGE PURPLE CLEMATIS.

 each, $5.00 per doz. 



LARGE SINGLE WHITE CLEMATIS. 



Clematis Henryii. 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, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. ; 2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 



LARGE DOUBLE WHITE CLEMATIS. 



Cl?matis Lucie Lenioine. 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. Price, 1st size, large plants, 

 75e. each, $7.50 per doz. ; 2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.

 plants. Price, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. ; 2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 



Clematis Coccinea. Bright vermilion scarlet; 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 

 1*4 i n - long, 1 in. thick at the base, round and tapering to y 2 in. at the neck. 

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

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

 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



Clematis Crispa. 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, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz.

 and one-half to two inches long, and have two bright scarlet wings at the 

 end of each flower ; the tip of the flower is bright purple ; the stamens are
