DREER'S SELECT LIST. 



CLEriATIS. 



Clematis Paniculata {Japanese Pirgin's Bower). This 



handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and most 



satisfactory climbing flowering plants 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 continue 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 position where 

 a graceful vine is desired. Strong 2-year-old plants, 25 cts. 

 each ; S2.50 per doz. ; strong 1-year-old plants, 15 cts. each ; 

 §1.50 per doz. 



Clematis 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. 25 cts. each ; 5 for Si. 00. 



Clematis Crispa. A very beautiful species, bearing an 

 abundance of pretty bell-shaped, fragrant, lavender flowers 

 with white centre. Blooms from June until frost. 25 cts. 

 each ; 5 for §1.00. 



Clematis Flammula ( Virgin'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. 25 cts. each ; 5 for SI. 00. 



Clematis, Madame Hdouard Andre. 



LARGE FLOWERING CLEMATIS 



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, old trees or ruins, 

 they have scarcely an equal.

Boskoop Seedling. Extra large lavender. 



Duchess of Edinburgh. The best of the double pure white, 



deliciously scented. 

 Fairy Queen. Pale flesh, with a pink bar.

varieties, a strong grower and free bloomer.

 Mme. Baron Veillard. One of the strongest growing varie- 

 ties, large light rose flowers, with lilac shading. 

 Madame Edouard Andre. An entirely distinct and most 



novel variety, and the nearest approach to a bright red ever 

 V sent out. The plant is a medium grower, being a hybrid of 



the popular Jackmanni, which it resembles in freedom of 

 j bloom, strong vigorous growth and shape and size of flower ; 

 i but is of a distinct carmine-red color of a most pleasing shade. 



entirely different from all other varieties.
