VARIOUS HARDY CLEMATIS. 



Coccinea. Handsome bell-shaped flowers of a bright coral-red color 

 from June until frost. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Crispa. Bears an abundance of pretty bell-shaped, fragrant, lavender 

 flowers, with white centre, from June until frost. 25 cts. each; $2.50 

 per doz. 



Montana Grandiflora. Of stronger growth than any other Clematis, 

 and succeeds under the most adverse conditions, and is perfectly hardy. 

 Its flowers, which resemble the Anemone or Windflower, are snow- 

 white, lj 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, of which there are but few. Extra 

 strong 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Montana Perfecta. A cross between M. grandiflora and M. Rubens 

 with flowers about the same size as the type, but with a delicate blush 

 suffusion through the white. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



Montana Rubens. A variety with flowers of a soft rosy-red, which are 

 produced on the young wood; they, therefore, appear more or less freely 

 during the entire growing season. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



Montana Wilsoni. A splendid variety, the pure white flowers are 

 larger than the type and appear during midsummer. Strong plants. 75 

 cts. each. 



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 

 plant succeeds 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. (See cut.) Strong 2-year-old plants, 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

Large-flowering Clematis 



Clematis Paniculata 



LARGE-FLOWERING 



HARDY CLEMATIS. 



No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful 

 large-flowering Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat 

 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 important of 

 all, they should be planted with the crowns three inches beneath 

 the surface of the soil. They seem to do best in a position 

 where they will not be exposed to the full sun during the hot- 

 test part of the day.
