ORNAMENTAL TREES, SHRUBS, ETC. 



CISSUS. 



C variegata. Variegated-leaved Cissus. A handsome running vine like 

 a grape, with variegated three-lobed leaves, and small clusters of dark colored fruit. 



CLEMATIS. Virgin's Bower. Waedrebe, Qer. Ceematite, Ft. 



The Clematis are elegant, slender branched shrubs, of rapid growth, handsome 

 foliage and beautiful large flowers of all colors. The newer varieties introduced within 

 the last ten years are great acquisitions. Either in the , open ground as pillar 

 plants, bedding plants, single plants in masses or about rock-work, or cultivated in pots 

 or tubs, the Clematis cannot be excelled. 



We append the following from the English " Gardener," Jackman's Clematises: 

 "They are magnificent; and more than this, they do give us some of the grandest things 

 in the way of creepers the horticultural world has ever seen, making glorious ornaments 

 either for walls, verandas, or rustic poles or pillars, varying in color from deep rich 

 violet hue to dark velvety maroon, and in the newer seedling forms, beautiful shades of 

 pale bright blue." 



They will stand the severest winters if the roofs are slightly covered. 



The following classification is taken from Jackman's work on the Clematis — en- 

 titled, "The Clematis as a Garden Flower."
