ARISTOLOCHIA. Birthwort

 flowers. 75c. 



CELASTRUS. Staff Tree 



C. articulatus, syn. paniculatus-orbiculatus. A very vigorous climbing shrub from Japan, adapted 

 for running over wild and rugged arrangements. It is most attractive in autumn when covered 

 with fruits, which are of a light yellow color w^hen ripe and which split open after the manner of 

 Euonymus, showing bright red seeds within. 35c.

 large leaves, yellow flowers, and clusters of orange-capsuled fruit in the autumn. It grows 10 to 

 13 feet in a season. 35c. 



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. 35c. 



CLEMATIS. Virgin's Bower 



None among hardy perennials exceed in beauty and effectiveness the finer sorts of Clematis. As a climber for the 

 veranda, a screen for fences, for pillars along the garden walks, for training on walls or arbors, in masses on rockwork, or 

 cultivation in pots, it has no rival among strong-growing blossoming plants. The Clematis should be grown in rich, deep, 

 sandy loam, and be well mulched with rotten manure in winter. The richest sheets of bloom and largest flowers are 

 obtained where it has partial shade and a liberal supply of water at the roots. 



After many years' experience we have come to the conclusion to grow only a few varieties wliicli have i^roved worthy 

 of general cultivation. The leading and best varieties arc Jdckiiurnnl, Henryi, Mine. Edrrvnl Amhw jiauiculata and 

 Sieholdii. 



C. Henryi. Very large, fine form ; free grower and bloomer ; creamy white. $1.00. 

 C. Hybrida Sieboldii. Large, bright blue flowers; fine. $1.00. 



C. Jackmanni. Large, intense violet purple; remarkable for its velvety richness; free in growth and 

 an abundant and successive bloomer. $1.00. 



C. Madame Edward Andre. Flowers large, of a beautiful bright velvety red, very free-flowering, 

 and continuous bloomer. $1.00. 



C. paniculata. From Japan. It has proved to be one of the most desirable, useful, and beautiful of 

 hardy garden vines, being a liLxuriant grower, profuse bloomer, and possessing fine foliage. It is 

 particularly useful for covering verandas, pillars, fences, where a trellis or support can be provided 

 for it to climb on. The flowers are of medium size, very pretty and fragrant, and produced in 

 the greatest profusion in late summer. We can recommend it in the strongest manner as one of 

 the best vines to grow near the house ; it makes a growth of from 25 to 30 feet in a single season, 

 and should be cut back to the ground each spring. 35c.

 height of twenty feet, producing an immense profusion of flowers in August. 35c.
