PETER; HENDERSON «X0., NEW YORK- 



This grand climbing vine, one of the 

 most valuable ever sent to us from Japan — 

 the source of so many floral wonders — is well worthy of a 

 place on pretentious dwelling or humble cottage. No 

 ' written description, no picture in the limited space of a catalogue, 

 can do justice to it. To see it in the early fall, covering a porch, 

 a trellis, an arbor, a fence, a boundary wall, a slope, or any other 

 object where it is planted, with a mass of fleec} 7 whiteness, exhaling 

 its delicious, Hawthorne-like fragrance, is to admire and want it. 

 Even when the mass of starry flowers is gone, when the fleecy mantle of 

 white has vanished for another year, there is another phase of its beauty 

 evident. Then is seen the thousands of silvery, raw- si lk-like, feathery 

 seed vessels hanging in graceful festoons and glistening in the sunlight. Its 

 beauty is not alone in its bloom and seed time; its refreshingly green foliage, 

 its graceful habit, lend it a beauty unmatched. It will grow fifteen to twenty 

 feet in a season, it is insect-proof, it is perfectly hardy, it adapts itself to all situ- 

 ations, thrives everywhere, and need only be seen to be admired. Price, strong- 

 blooming plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 

 Clematis Coecinea. Bright vermilion. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 

 Clematis Crispa. Purplish-blue, fragrant. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Large Purple 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. Price, 50c. 



each, S5.00 per doz. 

 Large White 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. Price, 50c. 



each, $5.00 per doz. 

 Double White Clematis, Duchess of Edinburgh. This variety is perfectly 



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



with the others. Price, 1st size, large plants, 50c. each, S5.00 per doz. 

 Large-Flowering Red Clematis, Mme. Edouard Andre. A very unique variety, 



color a beautiful wine red, large flowers with heavy petals; a fine contrast to 



the other sorts. Price, 50c. each, S5.00 per doz.

The New Anemone=Flowered Paris Daisy^ 

 " Queen Alexandra. ' ' 



The flowers are from 21 to 3 inches in diameter, pure white, the greater 

 percentage coming full double, not unlike an Anemone-flowered Japanese 

 Chrysanthemum, but even the semi-double and single flowers, which ap- 

 pear on the same plant, are very handsome. This is a great improvement 

 on the single "Paris Daisy," and should be in every collection. (See cut.)
