CLEMATIS. 



Large Flowering Varieties. 



The Clematis we offer this season are exceptionally fine strong plants, two years old ; we have reduced the number of varieties 

 to such sorts as from experience we know to succeed best in our climate. Many failures in the growing of Clematis are the result 

 of too shallow planting; the crown of the roots should be set at least 3 inches below the surface of the soil. For covering walls, 

 trellises and verandas they have scarcely an equal. 



Anderson Henryi. Creamy white, large and handsome. 



Boskoop Seedling-. Extra large lavender. 



Fairy Queen. Pale flesh, with a pink bar. 



Duchess of Edinburg-h. The best of the double pure 

 white, deliciously scented. 



M. Koster. A bright rosy carmine, not as rich in color 

 as Mad. Edouard Andre, but possessing the advantage 

 over that beautiful variety of being a much stronger, 

 freer grower, and also of being remarkably free in 

 flowering. 



Mme. Baron Veillard. One of the strongest grow- 

 ing varieties, large liglit rose flowers, with lilac shading. 



Mme. Edouard Andre. An entirely distinct and 

 most novel variety, and the nearest approach to a bright 

 red ever sent out. It is of a distinct carmine-i'ed color of 

 a most pleasing shade, entirely different from all other va- 

 rieties. 



Mine. Van Houtte. Pure white ; extra fine. 



Miss Bateman. White, with chocolate-red anthers. 



Standislli. Lavender blue. 



The Gem, Deep lavender blue. 



The President. Bright bluish purple. 



40 cts. each ; $4.00 per doz.; set of 1-5 varieties for $4.75. 



S»IAI.I.-FI.O^VERING 

 VARIETIES. 



Coccinea. A very handsome, hardy climber, bearing 

 thick bell-shaped flowers of a bright coral-red color ; 

 blooms with wonderful profusion from June until frost. 

 15 cts, each; $1.50 per doz. 



Crispa. A very beautiful species, bearing an abundance 

 of pretty bell-shaped, fragrant, lavender flowers with white 

 centre. Blooms from June until frost. 15 els. each ; 

 $1.50 per doz. 



Flammula ( Virgiii s Bower). A general favorite, where 

 a hardy, rapid-growing vine is desired. Its small, bright- 

 green foliage is almost hidden by clusters of small, fragrant 

 white flowers. 15 cts. each ; $1,50 per doz. 



Paniculata {^Japanese Virgin's Bower). This hand- 

 some hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satis- 

 factory climbing flowering plant we know. The plant is 

 of strong, rapid growth, with small dense cheerful green 

 foliage, giving it a grace and elegance possessed by no 

 other hardy climber, and, even did it not flower at all, it 

 would be one of our most desirable vines. The flowers 

 appear in the greatest profusion during August, and con- 

 tinue until late in the fall, are of a white color and most 

 deliciously fragrant. 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 posi- 

 tion where a graceful vine is desired. Strong two-year- 

 old plants, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.; strong one-year- 

 old plants, 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. 



Gypsy Queen. One of the very finest of the rich purple 



varieties, a strong grower and free bloomer. 

 Jackmani. The best known and most popular variety. 



Color dark, rich, royal purple. (See cut.) 

 Jackmani Superba. A deeper-flowered form of the 



popular Jackmani. 



Clematis Jackmaot.
