Foamy Flowered Clematis 



GRAVEOLENS (Orientalis).— 



A species of rapid growth, attain- 

 ing a height of 12 to 15 feet and 

 quite similar in every way to the 

 popular C. paniculata, except in 

 color of flowers, which are lemon 

 yellow and absence of fragrance. 

 It blooms earlier in the season and 

 is an excellent companion for it. 

 Two years, each, 20c. ; dozen, 

 $2.00 TlOO, $12.00. Extra heavy, 

 each, 25c.; dozen. $2.50; 100, 

 $15.00. 



PANICULATA (Japanese Vir- 

 gin's Bower). — 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 numerous pure white, star-like flowers on 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. (See cut.) 



Two-year roots, each. 15c.: dozen. $1.50; 100. $8.00. Extra heavv roots, each, 20c.; dozen. $2.00; 

 100, $12.00. 



LARGE FLOWERED CLEMATIS 



So graceful and refined in habit, that too much can scarcely be said in favor of these Clematis. Those 

 offered are aU 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. The plants are all two years old, growTi upon their own roots and will bloom freely at once. 



HENRYI. — The best variety, producing large, 

 white flowers. Its large clear, ivory white flowers 

 appear in great numbers thoughout the summer. 



JACKMANNI.— The best known and most pop- 

 ular 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. 



JACKMANNI RUBRA.— The red Jackmanni 

 and similar to the popular Jackmanni in all re- 

 spects except in color of the flowers. 



MME. BARON-VEILLARD.— A strong grower 

 and an exceedingly free bloomer. 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 Jack- 

 manni type. The flowers are very large, usually 

 six petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of rosy- 

 carmine and are produced in bewildering pro- 

 fusion. 



Each. 25c.; dozen, $2.50. A set of the flve 

 sorts for $1.00. 



WISTARIA (Glycine) 



SINENSIS. Chinese Blue Wistaria.— The flow- 

 ers of soft, dainty lavender blue color and pro- 

 duced in pendulous racemes a foot or more long in 

 May, before the leaves expand. They are pro- 

 duced in great numbers. Each, 25c.; dozen, $2.50. 



SINENSIS ALBA. Chinese White Wistaria.— 



A variety of the above with pure white flowers. 

 Each, 35c.; dozen, $3.50. 



VINCA (Periwinkle) 



MINOR. — Known also as Trailing Myrtle. A 

 creeper of shrubby habit but so largely planted 

 with Hardy Perennials I offer it with them. It 

 is of rapid growth and quickly produces a dense 

 carpet of foliage. It retains its glossy, deep green 

 leaves throughout the year and presents in spring 

 and early summer a blanket of bright blue flowers, 

 ^luch used for covering gi-aves and of special 

 value for carpeting under shrubs and in groves 

 of trees where grass will not grow. It is also 

 of great value for holding steep banks to prevent 

 washing, and is exceedingly attractive in foliage 

 at all seasons of the vear. Each. 10c. ; dozen, 

 $1.00; 100. $6.00. 



MINOR ALBA.— Similar to the above except 

 the flowers are pure white. Each. 12c.: dozen, 

 $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



MINOR VARIEGATA.— Foliage prettily vari- 

 egated creamy yellow and green. The flowers are 

 blue. Each 12c.; dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



VITIS HETEROPHYLLA VARIE- 

 GATA (Ampelopsis tricolor) 



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 conspiciious and present a most 

 pleasing eflfect. Two years, each, 25c.: dozen. 

 $2.50.
