New Early Spring=flowering Clematis. 



v^^ CLEMATIS MONTANA 



GRANDIFLORA. 



This IS a perfect gem, a climber which, on accc unt 

 of its strong growth and grand nisplay of flowers so 

 early in the season, when no other climbers are in 

 bloom, is certain to meet with much favor. 



"he plant is of stronger growth than any other 

 Clematis, and not subject to the attack;, of disease or 

 insects, and succeeds urder the most ndveise condi- 

 tions. It is jerfectly hardy, hnving withstood without 

 the least damage the past three severe winters in a 

 most unfavorable position in our trial grounds. Its 

 flowers are snow white, \\ to 2 inches in diameter, 

 and frequently begin to expand as early as the last 

 week in April, continuing well thrtugh Mny. and are 

 produced in such masses as to Ci mpletely hide the 

 plant. (See illusliation ) Extra strong :2 year-old

gin's Bower. A ccunlerp.ait <'f its parent, except in 



color, each petal being edged with purplish-crimson. 



A unique and desirable addition to our 



list of hardy summer-flowering climbers.

New Red Clematis 

 VILLE DE EYON. 



Large-flowering red Cltmatis have been 

 ofl'ered at various times, but all have lacked 

 not only color, but size and constitution. 

 This variety is a bright carmine, flowers 

 i>f large size, and a plant which is as free- 

 flowering and as strong a grower as the 

 well-known and popular purple Jackmani.

Clematis Montana Grandiflora. 



New Hardy Yellow Jasmine. 

 Jasiuiuum Primuliuiiit 



The old-time ^x^ MAiJasminiiin JVa.li- 

 Jloruni is especially admired on account 

 of its early-flowering, its flowers, in a 

 sheltered position or against a warm wall, 

 nppearing as early as the middle of 

 March. In this' new variety, an iniro- 

 daction from China, we have almost a 

 counterpart, excepting that its flowers 

 are fully double the size. These apperr 

 sininltaneously with the leaves. It will, 

 no doubt, prove an excellent addition to 

 our limited list of early spring-flowering 

 climbers. Strong plants, 75 cts. each.
