\ ARIOIIS HARDY CI.EMATIS. 



Clematis Montana Qrandiflora. Of stronger growth than any other 

 Clematis, and succeeds under the most adverse conditions, and is perfectly 

 hardy. Its flowers, which resemble the Anemone or Windflower, are 

 snow-white, 1^ 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. (See illustration.) Extra strong 2-year- 

 old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 

 Clematis flontana Rubens. The latest addition to our list of climbers, 

 identical in ever)' way with the white-flowered variety described above, 

 except in color, which is of a pleasing shade of soft rosy-red, a most desir- 

 able and novel color; requires protection. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 

 Clematis Paniculata (^Japanese Virgin's Bower). This handsome 

 hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory climbing flower- 

 ing 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, followed by silvery, feathery seed-pods, which 

 makes an attractive appearance until mid-winter. The plant succeeds in 

 almost any position, not only is it well 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. (See cut.) Strong plants, 15 cts. each; $1.50 perdoz.; 

 $10.00 per 100; extra strong plants, 25 cts. each; f2.50 per doz.; $15.00 

 per 100. 

 Clematis Flammula [Fragrant Virgin's Bower). Flowers smaller 

 than the preceding and produced in June and July, when it is covered 

 with sweetly scented white flowers. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 

 Clematis Coccinea. Handsome bell-shaped flowers of a bright coral-red 



color from June until frost. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 

 Clematis Crispa. Bears an abundance of pretty bell-shaped, fragrant, 

 lavender flowers, with white centre, from June until frost. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz. 

 Clematis Virginiana {American W7uie Clematis). A remarkably 

 strong-growing variety, attaining a height of 20 feet, and producing a 

 profusion of white flowers in August. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.
