CLEnflTI5 1 * 1 



The Clematis is, perhaps, the most popular climbing plant of the day, and Is 

 ■constantly gaining in popularity. Entirely hardy, blooming during the entire 

 season, embracing great variety of color, of the most beautiful tints of blue, 

 purple, lavender, scarlet, white, etc.; double and single — some of the flowers 

 being Eix inches in diameter, and from their wavy, graceful contour, when 

 wafted by a slight breeze, the flowers resemble huge butterflies hovering among 

 the green leaves. They are all climbers, and, if trained carefully, attain a 

 height of from five to fifteen feet in one season. The plants we offer, being 

 grown in pots, can be planted out with &afety at any time in the Northern 

 States from April to June, or in the Southern States from January to May.
