HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



>HlLaiEliPMlk\ 



Clematis montaiia Perfecta 



Of stronger growth than any other Clematis, and succeeds 

 under the most adverse conditions, and is perfectly hardy. Its flow- 

 ers, which resemble the Anemone orWindflower,are snow-white, 

 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 in such masses as to completely hide the 

 plant. The best of. the early spring-flowering climbers, ot 

 which there are but few. $1.00 each. 



L,arge-flo^'eritig Clematis 



No otlier climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beauti- 

 ful large-floweiing Clematis. Their requirements are some- 

 what different from most other plants, and proper conditions 

 must be given to secure satisfactory results. They need rich, 

 deep soil, perfect drainage, abundance of water, and, most im- 

 portant of all, they should be planted with the crowns three 

 inches beneath the surface of the soil. 



i^W We are careful to send out only perfectly healthy 

 stock, and cannot entertain any complaints on account of 

 non-succtss tcith this class of plants.
