THE FOUR BEST LARGE-FLOWERED CLEMATIS, 



So large and beautiful in form and color of their 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 

 Clematis. Those here offered are all as hardy as oak trees; 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 Catalogues I have selected the following as decidedly the most distinct and valuable of them all. Each one 

 is a gem; note the illustrations above. The plants are all grown upon their own roots Cnot grafted), are strong, two- 

 years old, and will bloom freely the coming summer. They will be sent by mail, if preferred, at prices named. 



JACKMANNI. The flowers are large, intense rich 

 velvety violet-purple and are produced in such masses as 

 to form a cloud of bloom. Well known and very popular. 

 Ea., 30c; 3 for 75c; doz., $2.50. 



MAD. BARON- VEILLARD. Of recent introduction 

 and quite like its parent, the popular Jackmanni, in habit 

 and make-up, except that its flowers are a lively, satiny 

 lavender-pink; entirely distinct from any other variety 

 and charming in effect. Ea., 40c: 3 for $1.00; doz., 

 $3.50. 



MAD. EDOUAED ANDRE. Also of the Jackmanni 

 type and is the nearest approach to a bright red that has 

 yet appeared. The flowers are very large, usually six- 

 petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, and are 

 produced in bewildering profusion. Ea., 40c; 3 for 

 $1.00; doz., $3.50. 



HENRYI. A vigorous grower and a free bloomer, pro- 

 ducing its large pure white flowers constantly during 

 summer and early autumn. The best large-flowered 

 variety producing pure white flowers. Ea., 30c; 3 for 

 75c; doz., $2.50. 



Special. For $1.00 I will send one each of the above four Clematis— by mail if preferred. 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



HONEYSUCKLES. 



One of the most valuable of all hardy flowering vines, 

 of exceedingly rapid growth, soon reaching a height of 

 fifteen or twenty feet and spreading out in all directions. 

 Small, pure white flowers, borne in great masses., of 

 panicles or clusters on long stems, so profuse as to fairly 

 cover the plant with a sheet of fleecy white. Its bloom- 

 ing period is in August and September, when most other 

 vines have ceased, and it is then a sight to behold. Not 

 its least charm is its delightful Magnolia-like fragrance, 

 which fills the air everywhere, even from a single vine, 

 for a long distance. It is as hardy as an oak. Strong 2 

 yrs. old, by mail, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. Extra heavy, by 

 express, ea,., 30c; 3 for 75c. 



HALL'S JAPAN HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera Halleana). 

 Probably the most desirable of all the Honeysuckles. 

 Strong, shrubby growth, dark, rich foliage almost com- 

 pletely evergreen in character, and covered from May 

 until November with exceedingly fragrant flowers, pure 

 white in color first, then changing to yellow; much re- 

 sembling a Cape Jasmine in delightful odor. Mail, ea. r 

 12c; 3 for 30c; express, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. 



JAPAN GOLDEN- VEINED HONEYSUCKLE {Loni- 

 cera Japonica foliis aureis reticulatis) . A splendid va- 

 rietv of moderate growth, valuable for its variegated 

 foliage, which is beautifully veined or netted with 

 golden-yellow lines. Mail, ea., 12c; 3 for 30c; express, 

 ea., 20c; 3 for 50c.
