CLEMATIS PAXICITI^ATA. 



(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 

 jjieatest profusion in August, and continue until 

 !ate in the fall. 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.)
