 dazzling as to be seen a great distance. (Plants now ready.) 1st size,

Clematis Paniculata. One of the most beautiful of our 

 hardy-flowering vines. The flowers are pure white. These 

 clusters are borne on long slender stems. The fragrance is 

 delicious, resembling the English Hawtliorn blossoms, and is so 

 subtle 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 astrong, 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.
