 quickly trellises, arbors, etc., with a mass of

 ters during July and Au- 

 gust. Of grotesque habit

 ters of brilliant bloom are 

 very showy and produce a 

 striking efifect. Each, 35c.;

CLEMATIS 



PANICULATA. Japanese Virgin's Bower. 



— The finest of all hard}- 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 numerous pure white, star-like flowers on 

 long stems, and so fragrant that the air is per- 

 fumed to a great distance. Its masses of de- 

 lightful bloom remain until frost, and are suc- 

 ceeded by tufted seed pods. Two-year roots, 

 each, 30c.; dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00. 



CLEMATIS. Large Flowered 



DUCHESS OF EDINBURG.— This is one 

 of the finest varieties producing large white 

 flowers. Blooms freely throughout the sum- 

 mer. 



JACKMANNL— The most popular of the 

 large flowered varieties. Its flowers are rich 

 velvety violet-plum and are produced in such 

 profusion as to form a veritable cloud of 

 bloom. 



MME. BARON-VEILLARD. — A strong 

 grower and an exceedingly free bloomer. It 

 blooms later than the others of its class and 

 continues until frost. Flowers large and rosy- 

 lilac.

 lavender flowers, exceedingly free in bloom 

 and in every way a splendid sort.

 until late winter or early spring. Perfectly 

 hardy. We recommend it highly. Two years, 

 each, 35c.; dozen, $3.50. 



HEDERA. Ivy 



HIBERNICA. English or Irish Ivy.— This 

 well-known and favorite vine is useful for cov- 

 ering walls, growing on the trunks of trees, in 

 rock gardening and for carpeting. Owing to 

 its handsome evergreen, glossy foliage, it is 

 much used for covering graves, particularly 

 in shaded situations where grass will not grow.

 peting under shrubs and in groves of trees 

 where grass will not grow. Each, 20c.; dozen,
