great panicles or clusters of bloom, fairly covering the plant, so that it is a mass of fleecy white. These clusters are borne on 

 long slender stems, which stand out boldly from between the glossy green leaves. The fragrance is delicious, resembling the

 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. (See cut.) Price, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. Plants 2 years old. For other Clematis see page 20.
