THE FLEECY- WHITE FRAGRANT CLEMATIS 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



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 fleecy whiteness, ex- 

 haling its delicious, Hawthorn-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-silk, 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 situations, thrives 

 everywhere, and need only be seen to be admired. Price, strong plants, 20c. 

 each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.
