HARDY CI.EMATIS. 



Coccinea. Handsome bell-shaped flowers of a bright coral-red 

 color from June until frost. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Crispa. Bears an abundance of pretty bell-shaped, fragrant, lav- 

 ender flowers, with white centre, from June until frost. 25 cts. 

 each; $2.50 per doz. 



Montana Qrandiflora, Of stronger growth than any other 

 Clematis, and succeeds under the most adverse conditions, and is 

 perfectly hardy. Its flowers, which resemble the Anemone or 

 Windflower, are snow-white, IJ to 2 inches in diameter, and fre- 

 quently begin to expand as early as the last week in April, con- 

 tinuing well through May, and are produced in such masses as to 

 completely hide the plant. The best of the early spring-flowering 

 climbers, of which there are but few. Extra strong 2-year old 

 plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Montana Perfecta. A cross between M. grandiflora and M 

 Rubens, with flowers about the same size as the type, but with 

 a delicate blush suff'usion through the white. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



Montana Rubens, A variety with flowers of a soft rosy-red, which are produced on 

 the young wood; they, therefore, appear more or less freely during the entire growing 

 season. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



Montana Wilsoni. A splendid variety, the pure white flowers are larger than the 

 type and appear during midsummer. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



Paniculata {Ja-panese Virgin's Bower). This handsome hardy climber is one of the 

 choicest and most satisfactory climbing flowering plants. Of strong, rapid growth, with 

 small, dense, cheerful green foliage, and pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers, which 

 appear in the greatest profusion in August and September, followed by silvery, feathery 

 seed pods, which make an attractive appearance until mid-winter. The plant succeeds 

 in almost any position. Not only is it 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 

 or trailer is desired. (See cut). Strong 2-year-old plants, 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Honeysuckle 



EVOIVYMUS. 



Clematis Paniculata 



The trailing Evonymous are particularly desirable for their 

 dense evergreen foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on 

 account of this taking the place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others 

 that of the box-wood as an edging plant. 



Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low foimdation walls, 

 or may be clipped the same as boxwood for an edging plant. 15 cts. 

 each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 

 Radicans variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white varie- 

 gated form of the same habit as the type. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; 

 $10.00 per 100. 

 Radicans Vegeta. A strong-growing variety v^ith larger leaves than the 

 type and producing bright orange-red berries which remain on the plant 

 the greater part of the winter. As an evergreen absolutely hardy wall 

 cover this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic horticultural writer pre- 

 dicts that it will become as popular for this purpose here as the Ivy is in 

 England. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 

 Kewensis. A new variety with very small dark green foliage. Everyone 

 who has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant or ground cover. It 

 grows close to the ground and is one of the most valuable plants for under 

 trees where grass will not grow. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 

 per 100.
