HVBRID COCCINEA 

 CI.E3IATIS. 



An entirely distinct type of Clematis, 

 the result of crosses between C. coccinea 

 and Star of Ind:a^ combining all the good 

 points of their jiarents in hardiness, vig- 

 orous, robust growth and freedom of 

 bloom, which, together with their novel 

 coloring and shape, make them valuable 

 additions to the list of hardy climbers.

 purple, with a broad band of scarlet 

 . through the centre of each petal; of 

 open, bell-shape form.

CLEMATIS PA:NICULATA iJapanese Virgins Bower). 



This handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satislactory climbing flowering plants. Of strong, rapid growth, with 

 small, dense, cheerful green foliage, and pure white, deliciously iragrant flowers which ajipear in the greatest profusion in August, 

 followed by silverv, feathery seed-pods, which makes 

 an attractive appearance. The plant succeeds in 

 almost any position; not only is it well 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 is desired. (See cut.)
