SHRUBBY CLEMATIS. 
This type of Clematis is deserving of the greatest popularity. They 
form erect bushes 2 to 8 feet high. During their long period of bloom 
they are very attractive. 
Davidiana. A most desirable variety, with fresh, bright green foliage 
and tubular bell-shaped flowers of deep lavender blue during August 
and September; deliciously fragrant. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 
Heraclezefolia. Of the same general habit as above, but with lighter 
colored flowers 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Recta. One of the best hardy perennials, with handsome pure white 
flowers in very large, showy clusters during June and July; very effective. 
25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Recta Flore Pleno. Identical to the beautiful single-flowering type, 
except that the flowers are double and larger. We consider this one of 
the most desirable perennials in our collection, and although introduced 
more than ten years ago, this plant is seldom offered for sale, 
owing to its being difficult to propagate. We offer strong plants at 
50 cts. each. 
One each of the 4 sorts for $1.00. 
CONVALLARIA. 
(Lily of the Valley.) 
S Majalis. This is often starved and ne- 
glected and relegated to some poor, out-of- 
the-way corner; but this popular and fragrant 
subject, like most other plants, repays for being 
well treated, and if the bed is given a lib- 
eral top-dressing of well-decayed manure in 
fall or early spring it will show the effect by in- 
creased size, number and vigor of the flowers. 
CIMICIFUGA SIMPLEX 
CIMICIFUGA.

ally suited for outdoor planting, which should 
be done before the end of April. 25 cts. 
each; $2.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 
Simplex. Most valuable 
by reason of its extreme 
late flowering, beginning

time when flowers are 
scarce. Its flowering 
stems are from 24 to 3 feet 
high, terminated with a 
dense spike of white 
flowers, which, when cut, 
last in perfection a long 
time. (See cut.) 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

Acerina or Japonica. A pretty Japanese variety with white flowers; 
August and September; excellent for cutting; 23 feet.

ber; 34 feet.

for $1.00.
