New and Rare Hardy Climbing; Plants. 



New Early Spring-flowering Clematis. 

 CI^EMATIS M0:NTA]VA 



gra:ndifi.ora. 



After three years' acquaintance with this Clematis we 

 are mo-re than ever impressed with its great value, and 

 believe it to be the best of the very early spring-flowering 

 climbers. 



The plant is of stronger growth than any other Cle- 

 matis, not subject to the attacks of insects, and succeeds 

 under the most adverse conditions. It is perfectly hardy, 

 having withstood without the least damage in a most un- 

 ■ favorable position in our trial grounds. Its flowers, which 

 resemble the Anemone or Windflower, are snow-white, 

 IJ to 2 inches in di.imeter, and frequently begin to ex- 



POLYGONUM I'.ALDSCHI ^NKUM. 



pand as early as the last week in April, continuing well through May, 

 and are produced in such masses as to completely hide the plant. 

 (See illustration.) Extra strong 2 year-old plants, 50 cls. each; .fo.OO 

 per doz. 



CLEMATIS MOIVTANA RUBENS. 



The latest and most important addition to our list of hardy climbers, 

 identical in every way with the white-flowered variety described above, 

 except in color, which is of a pleasing shade of soft rosy-red, a mo?t 

 desirable and novel color, and not found in any other hardy climber. 

 We offer a limited stock of very strong plants. $1.00 each. 

 New Hardy Yellow Jasmine. 

 JASMINtTM PRIMUI.IXJM. 



The old-time ^3.von\.s Jiisuiiiium /i'2«/2/f(>?-H;« is especially admired 

 on account of its early flowering, its flowers, in a sheltered position or 

 against a warm wall, a])penring as early as the middle of March. In 

 this new variety, an introducti )a from China, we have almost a Counter- 

 part, excepting that its flowers are fully double the size. These appear 

 simultaneously with the leaves. It will, no doubt prove an excellent 

 addition to our limited list of early spring-flowering climbers. Strong 

 plants, 50 cts. each. 



Neiiv Hardy Everlasting Pea 

 "WHITE PEARE." 



{^Liiihyriis Uitifolins grcuidijioriis iil/uis ) 



A magnificent, new pure-white variety, wilh individ- 

 ual flowers fully double the size of the ordinary Hardy 

 Everlasting Pea. These are produced in really gigan- 

 tic trusses, and are of the purest while and in bloom 

 throughout the eniire summer and early fall.^ A valu- 

 able acqui>iiion that is certain to become popular. One 

 of our customers who secured a root last spring pro- 

 nounces it ''grea'." We offer a limited lot of very 

 strong roots at 75 cts. each. 



POEYGONU^I 



BALOSCHUAIVICUM. 



This beautiful hardy, woody, twining plant was first 

 offered by us in 1900, but is still comparatively rare. 

 We consider it one of the most interesting and showy 

 lardy climbers. Its wdiite flowers are' borne in great 

 feathery sprays at the ex- 

 tremities of the branches 

 throughout the summer and 

 fall. Strong plants, 50 cts. 

 each. 



Polygonum 



Multifloruni. 



Another very desirable 

 climbing plant which seems 

 peculiarly adapted to our cli- 

 iriatic conditions. It is of 

 strong, rapid, but not coarse 

 growth, frequently attaining a 

 height of 15 to 20 feet in one 

 season. Its bright green heart- 

 shaped leaves are never both- 

 ered by insects, and during 

 September and October it pro- 

 duces masses of foamy-white 

 flowers in large trusses from 

 the axil of each leaf. 25 cts. 

 each ; $2.50 per doz. 



LARGE AND SMALL FLOWERING CLEMATIS 



We offer a very select list of the above on page 222. Taker
