CLEMATIS. Virg"in's Bower. Waldrebe, Ger. Clematite, Fr. 



The Clematis are elegant, slender branched shrubs, of rapid growth, handsome 

 foliage and beautiful large flowers of all colors. The newer varieties introduced 

 within the last fi"ve or six years are great acquisitions. Either in the open ground as 

 pillar plants, bedding plants, single plants in masses or about rock- work, or cultivated 

 in pots or tubs, the Clematis cannot be excelled. 



We append the following from the English ^^ Gardener.'' Jackman's Clematises: — 

 "They are magnificent ; and more than this, they do give us some of the grandest 

 things in the way of creepers the horticultural world has ever seen, making glorious 

 ornaments either for walls, verandahs, or rustic poles or pillars, varying in color from 

 deep rich violet hue to dark velvety maroon, and in the newer seedling forms, beauti- 

 ful shades of pale bright blue." 



They will stand the severest Winters if the roots are sHghtly covered.
