CLEMATIS PAISICULATA. 



(tlapaiiese Virgin's liower.) 



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, giving it: a grace and ele- 

 gance possessed by no other hardy climber, and, even did it not 

 flower at all, it would be one of our most desirable, vines. The 

 pure white, deliciously fragra)it flowers appear in the greatest pro- 

 fusion during August, and continue until late in the fall. The plant 

 s'ucceeds 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.
