FOUR SUPERB LARGE-FLOWERED CLEMATIS. 



So large and beautiful in form and color of flowers, which are produced in such great profusion, and the vines 

 are so graceful and refined in habit, that too much can scarcely be said in favor of the finer varieties of Cle- 

 matis. Those here ofifered are all entirely hardy; requiring no protection and very little care to produce annually a 

 mass of bloom utterly impossible to describe. After carefully testing the scores of varieties named in the European 

 catalogs, I have selected the following as decidedly the most distinct and valuable of them all. Each one is a 

 gem; note the illustration above. The plants are all two years old, grown upon their own roots (not grafted), and 

 will bloom freely the coming summer. 



HENRYI. — The best variety, producing large, white 

 flowers. Its large, clear, ivory white flowers appear in 

 great numbers throughout the summer. 



JACKMANII. — The best known and most popular of 

 the large flowered varieties. Its flowers are rich, vel- 

 vety violet-plum and are produced in such profusion as 

 to form a veritable cloud of bloom. The popularity of 

 the Clematis is largely due to this grand variety — the 

 choicest vine in cultivation.

MME. BARON-VEILLARD.— A strong grower and 

 an exceedingly free bloomer, growing more rapidly than 

 its parents, C. Jackmanii. It blooms later than other 

 varieties of its class and continues until frost. Flowers 

 very large and of rosy-lilac color. 



MME. EDOUARD ANDRE.— Also of the Jackmanii 

 type and is the nearest approach to a true red Clematis 

 tnat has yet been produced. The flowers are very large, 

 usually six petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of car- 

 mine and are produced in bewildering profusion, 

 of the four vareities for $1.00. 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



Japanese Virgin's Bower. 



Clematu paniculata. 



The finest of all vines for airy grace and beauty. It 

 quickly grows to a height of 15 to 20 feet and spreads 

 out in all directions. In August and September, when 

 most other vines have ceased to bloom, it is completely 

 covered with a sheet of fleecy white, made up of num- 

 erous pure white, star-like flowers en long stems, and 

 so fragrant that the air is perfumed to a great distance, 

 its masses of delightful bloom remain until frost, and 

 are succeeded by tufted seed-pods. 



Two year roots, each, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



Extra heavy roots, each, 20c; do.-^., $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



VITIS HETROPHYLLA VARIEGATA. 



Ampelofsis Tricolor. 

 TRICOLOR. (Vitis heterophylla variegata ) — A Jap- 

 anese vine of dwarf habit, great beauty and value for low 

 trellises and rock gardenings It is densely clothed with 

 beautiful, bright green leaves which are blotched and 

 veined with creamy white and carmine, all in a most 

 curious and fantastic manner. Its stems are reddish 

 purple. During late summer and autumn the plants are 

 thickly studded with clusters of metallic blue berries 

 that are conspicuous and present a most pleasing ef¥ect. 

 Strong heavy plants, each, 25c; doz., $2.50.

The order came in good shape, was packed very well. 

 It is a pleasure to deal with such a reliable house.
