iWRDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



>HniflIEIiPlM1i\ 



Large -flowering Clematis 



No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful large-flower- 

 ing 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 

 tlie surface of the soil. 



Anderson Henryi. Creamy white, large. 

 Duchess of Edinburgh. Double, pure white. 

 Jackmani. Tlic popular rich purple variety. 

 Mme. Edouard Andre. Bright carmine. 



Price. Any of the above, 75 cts. each; S7..S0 per doz. 

 One each of the 4 sorts for S2.50. 



Evonymus 



The trailing Evonymus are particularly desirable for their dense evergreen 

 foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking the 

 place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the bo.xwood as an 

 edging plant. 



Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low foundation walls, or 

 may be clipped the same as boxwood for an edging plant. 



Radicans Acuta. A strong growing variety with long narrow dark green 

 leaves veined with grey, excellent as a ground cover or for wall covering. 



Radicans Variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white varie- 

 gateil form of the same habit as the type. 



Radicans Vegeta {Evergreen Bilterswcel). A strong growing variety, with 

 larger leaves than the type, and producing bright orange-red berries, which 

 remain on the plant the greater part of the winter. As an evergreen abso- 

 lutely hardy wall cover this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic horti- 

 cultural writer predicts that it will become as popular for this purpose here 

 as the Ivy is in England. 



Kewensis. A variety with very small dark green foliage. Everyone who 

 has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant or ground cover. It grows 

 close to the ground, and is one of the most valuable plants for under trees 

 where grass will not grow. 



Clexutis Paniculat.\ 



Price. Any of the above varieties, 

 per 100. 



30 cts. each; §2.50 per doz.; S18.00 



Clematis Montana 



(Anemone Clematis) 



A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds under the 

 most adverse conditions. The Anemone or Windflower-like flow- 

 ers are from 11 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 very freely, the best of the early sp ing 

 flowering climbers of which there are but few. We offer three 

 varieties: 



Perfecta. Pure white. 

 Rubens. Rose-tinted white. 

 Undulata. White flushed with mauve, undulated or wavy petals. 



Any of the above, SI. 00 each. 



Clematis 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 plants succeed 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. Strong plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Clematis Tangutica 



(Golden Clematis) 



Of moderate growth attaining a height of from 6 to 8 feet and 

 produces attractive bright yellow flowers during June and fre- 

 quently a second crop appears late in August or during September.
