PETER HENDERSON & COS QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS. i3 
CLEMATIS—Large Flowering. 
To meet the growing demand for these find plants 
we imported the finest collection to be found in 
Europe, and now offer them to the trade at so low a 
figure that a liberal profit may be had in handling 
them. The Clematis is now the most popular climb- 
ing flowering plant of the day, and no florist should 
be without a collection of them, as they sell more 
readily perhaps than any other hardy climbing plant, 
and are constantly growing in popular favor. 
They are perfectly hardy, blooming the entire 
season, and embrace every shade of color in blue, | 
purple, lavender, white, violet, etc., some of the 
flowers measuring over six inches in diameter, 
double and single—the double varieties are rosettc- 
shaped ; the single ones from their wavy graceful 
contour at a little distance resemble huge butterflies 
hovering among the green leaves. Our stock is very 
large. and we can offer them in 20 finest sorts as 
named below. Plants from 4 and 5 inch pots 
{imported stock 2 to 3 feet high.)
