CLEMATIS PANICULATA ~ 
VARIOUS HARDY CLEMATIS 
EVONYMUS 
The traning Evonymus are particularly desirable for their dense ever- 
green foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this 
taking the place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the 
box-wood as an edging plant. 
Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low foundation 
walls, or may be clipped the same as box-wood for an edging plant. 
25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
Radicans Variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white 
variegated form of the same habit as the type. 25 cts, each; $2.50 
per dez.; $15.00 per 100. : 
Radicans Vegeta. 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. Asan evergreen absolutely 
hardy wall cover this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic horticul- 
tural writer predicts that it will become as popular for this purpose 
here as the Ivy is in England. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 
per 100. 
‘Kewensis. A new variety with very small dark green foliage. Every- 
one 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. 25 cts. each; 
$2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
HONEYSUCKLES

white variegated flowers; dark green foliage. Sapa

pet-shaped flowers throughout the summer and autumn.

fragrant, hardy and almost evergreen; flowers freely. : 
Henryi. A recent introduction from China, where it has been found 
at an altitude of 6060 feet, with almost evergreen foliage, and entirely 
distinct flowers of a peculiar bronzy-red color, produced in graceful 
panicles in early summer. 
Variegated (Aurea Reticulata). Foliage beautifully mottled yel- 
low and green. 
Yellow Trumpet. Clusters of yellow trumpet-shaped flowers dur- 
ing summer and 
fall.

above _ heavy 
plants, 50 cts.

doz.; $25.00 per 
100. 
Montana Grandiflora. Of stronger growth than any other Clematis, 
and succeeds under the most adverseconditions, and is perfectly hardy. 
Its flowers, which resemble the Anemone or Windflower, are snow- 
white, 14 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 in such masses as to completely hide the plant. The best of 
the early spring-flowering climbers, of which there are but few. Extra 
strong 2-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
_ $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
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 ap- 
pear 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 al- 
most 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 posi- 
tion where a graceful vine or trailer is desired. (See cut.) Strong plants, 25 cts. each;
