CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



(Japanese Virgin'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 pure white, deliriously fragrant flowers appear in the 

 greatest profusion during August, and continue until late in the 

 fall. 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 rockwork, sloping banks, covering graves, or, 

 in fact, any position where a graceful vine is desired.

 tain any complaints on this class of plants.
