THE FOUR BEST LARGE-FLOWERED CLEMATIS. 



So large and beantifnl iu ft)riii and eul-tr (>( tht-ir riowers. which are produced in such great profusion, and tlie 

 vines are so graceful and retined iu habit, that too nuich can scarcely be said in favor of the finer varieties of 

 Clematis. Those here offei-ed are all as hardy as i>ak 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 iUnstrations above. Tlie plants are all grown upon their own roots rnot grafted', are strong, two 

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



JACZMAmJ"!, The flowers are large, intense rich 

 velvery violet-purple and are produced in such masses as 

 to form a clotid of bloom. Well known and verv popular.

MAD. BAEON-VEHLAED. Of recent introduction 

 and quite like its parent, tlie fKjpular Jackmanni. inhabit 

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

 lareiifler-piiik; entirely distinct from any other variety 

 and charming in effect. Ea., 40c: 3 for %1.00: doz.*, 

 $3.50. 



MAD. EDOUAKD ANDEE. Also of the Jackmanni 

 type and is the nearest approach to a hngM re<l that has 

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

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

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

 $1.00: doz.. ^3.50.

Special. For .*1.09 / 'riU setid one each of the aJjovefonr ClemaHs^jy nmil if preferred. 



CLEMATIS PAmCULATA. 



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, hy mail, ea.. 20e: 3 for" 50c. Extra heaty, by 

 efprt-its. ea.. 'MSc: 3 for 75c.

 pletely evergreen in character, and covered from May

 s-embling a Cape Jasmine in delightful odor. Mail.
