New and Rare Hardy Climbing Plants. 
New Early Spring-flowering Clematis. 
CLEMATIS MONTANA 
GRANDIFLORA. 
This is a perfect gem, a climber which, on account of 
its strong growth and grand display of flowers so early 
in the season, when no other climbers are in bloom, 
is certain to meet with much favor, 
The plant is of stronger growth than any other Cle- 
matis, not subject to the attacks of insects, and suc- 
ceeds under the most adverse conditions. It is 
perfectly hardy, having withstood without the least 
damage in a most unfavorable position in our 
trial grounds, Its flowers, which resemble :he Ane- 
mone 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. (See illustration.) Extra strong 2-year-old 
plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 
CLEMATIS MONTANA 
RUBENS. 
The latest and most important addition to ou: list of - 
hardy climbers, identical in every way with the white- 
flowered variety described above, except in color, 
which is of a pleasing shade of soft rosy-red, a most de- 
sirable and novel color, and not found in any other 
hardy climber. We offer a limited stock of very strong 
plants. $1.50 each. 
EMATIS ONTANA RANDIFL' POLYGONUM 
CL Montana G ORA. MULTIFLORUM. 
Another very desirable climbing plant which seems 
peculiarly adapted to our climatic conditions. Jt is of 
strong, rapid, but not coarse growth, frequently attain- 
ing a height of 15 to 20 feet in one season. Its bright 
green heart-shaped leaves are never bothered by in- 
sects, and during September and October it produces 
masses of foamy-white flowers in large trusses from the 
axil of each leaf. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz, 
New Hardy Yellow 
Jasmine. 
JASMINUM A 
PRIMULIUM. 
The old-time favorite Fas- 
minum Nudiflorum is espe- 
cially admired on account of 
its early flowering, its flowers, 
in a sheltered position or 
against a warm wall, ap- 
pearing as early as the mid- 
dle of March. In this new 
variety, an introduction from 
China, we have almost a 
counterpart, excepting that 
its flowers are fully double 
the size. These appear sim- 
ultaneously with the leaves, 
It will, no doubt, prove an 
excellent addition to our 
limited list of early spring- 
flowering climbers. Strong 
plants, 50 cts. each, 
Lathyrus Latifolius 
Grandiflorus Albus 
“WHITE 
PEARL.” 
A magnificent new pure 
white variety, with individual flowers fully double the size of the ordinary 
Hardy EverJasting Pea. These are produced in really gigantic trusses, 
and are of the purest white and in bloom throughout the entire summer and 
early fall. Awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Royal Horticultural 
Society of England. A valuable acquisition that is certain to become 
popular. We offer a limited lot of very strong roots at 75 cts. each. 
POLYGONUM BALDSCHUANICUM. 
This beautiful hardy, woody, twining plant was first offered by us in 1900, 
| but is still comparatively rare, We consider it one of the most interesting 
and showy hardy climbers. Its white flowers are borne in great feathery 
r sprays at the extremities of the branches throughout the summer and fall. 
Strong plants 50 cts, each Poryconum BaLpscHuanicum.
