Clematis Inte^rifolia Durandi. New and 



very scarce. It is an acquisition of great value 

 and has proved to be one of the grandest of this 

 class of hardy plants. It is a hybred of the herba-

 ceous it is at the same time a vine, and produces, 

 very profusely, large, gracefully-formed flowers of 

 deep indigo-bhie during the entire summer and 

 autumn and exceedingly striking and highly or- 

 namental. The flowers are so beautiful and last 

 so well they are especially reliable for cutting.
