CI.EMATIS RECTA FE. PE. 



Identical to the beautiful single-flowering type offered on page 212, except 

 that the flowers are double and larger. We consider this one of the most desira-

 ago, this plant is seldom offered for sale, owing to its being difficult to propa- 

 gate. We offer .•Jtrong plants at $1.00 each.
