HARDY aiMBINQ PLANTS 



>HiLigmiPMik\ 



Clematis Paniculata 



(Japanese Virgin's Bower) 



This handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory 

 climbing flowering plants. Of strong rapid growth with small, dense, cheerful 

 green foliage, and pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers, which appear in 

 the greatest profusion in August and September, followed by silvery feathery 

 seed pods, which make an attractive appearance until mid-winter. The plants 

 succeed in almost any position. Not only is it adapted to run up all kinds of 

 supports, but is just as useful for planting among rock-work, sloping banks, 

 covering graves, or, in fact, any position where a graceful vine or trailer is 

 desired. Strong plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Clematis Tangutica (Coiden ciemaus) 



Of moderate growth attaining a height of from 6 to 8 feet and produces 

 attractive bright yellow flowers diiring June and frequently a second crop 

 appears late in August or during September, followed by very attractive 

 seed pods. 50 cts. each. , 



Evonymus 



The trailing Evonymus are particularly desirable for their dense evergreen 

 foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking the 

 place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the boxwood as an 

 edging plant. 

 Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low foundation walls, or 



may be clipped the same as boxwood for an edging plant. 

 Radicans Acuta. A strong growing variety with long narrow dark green 



leaves veined with grey, excellent as a ground cover or for wall covering. 

 Radicans Acuta Atropurpurea. Same as above but with the leaves 



tinted purplish red particularljf on the underside. 

 Radicans Variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white varie- 

 gated form of the same habit as the type. 

 Radicans Vegeta (Evergreen Bittersweet). A strong growing varietj', with 

 larger leaves than the type, and producing bright orange-red berries, which 

 remain on the plant the greater part of the winter. As an evergreen abso- 

 lutely hardy wall cover this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic horti- 

 cultural writer predicts that it will become as popular for this purpose here 

 as the I\'y is in England. 

 Kewensis. A variety with very smaU dark green foliage. Ever3'one who 

 has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant or ground cover. 

 It grows close to the ground, and is one of the most valuable 

 plants for under trees where grass wiU not grow. 

 Price. Any of the above varieties. 30 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz.; S18.00 per ]00. 



CI.E^LVTIS P.\XICUL.\T.\ 



Celastrus Scandens 



(Bitter Sweet, or Wax Work) 



One of our native climbing plants, of rapid growth, succeeding 

 in almost any situation, sun or shade, with attractive light green 

 foliage and yellow flowers during June, which are followed in the 

 autumn with bright orange fruit, which usually remaui on the plant 

 throughout the winter. 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz. 



Large-flowering Clematis 



No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiftj 

 large-flowering Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat 

 different from most other plants, and proper conditions must be 

 given to secure satisfactory resiflts. They need rich, deep soil, 

 perfect drainage, abundance of water and most important of all, 

 they should be planted with the crowns three inches beneath the 

 the surface of the soil. 



Anderson Henryi. Creamy white, large. 

 Jackmani. The popular rich purple variety. 

 Price. Either of the above, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Clematis Montsuia 



(Anemone Clematis) 



A strong, vigorous, perfectlj' hardy type that succeeds under the 

 most adverse conditions. The Anemone or Windflower-like flowers 

 are from 1| to 2 inches in diameter and frequently begin to 

 expand as early as the last week in April continuing well through 

 May and are produced very freely, the best of the early spring 

 flowering climbers of which there are but few. 

 Rubens. Rose-tinted white. 

 Undulata. White flushed with mauve, undiflated or wavy 



petals. 



Either of the above, $1.00 each. 



Large-flowering Clenl\tis
