Large-Flowering Clematis 



No other climbing plant enjoys the widespread popularity as the beauti- 

 ful large-flowering varieties of Clematis. They do well in a fertile light 

 loamy soil which is well drained. They climb with ease and will grow 

 more than ten feet in height. 



Duchess of Edinburgh, Elegant large double white blooms. 

 Henry i. Lovely, large, creamy white blooms. 

 Jackmani. This is the very popular rich purple Clematis. 

 Mme. Edouard Andre. Large bright rosy carmine blooms. 

 Any of the above: 75c each. 



Clematis montana undulata 



Anemone-Flowered Clematis 



A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds under the most 

 adverse conditions. The Anemone or Windflower-like flowers are from 

 IJ to 2 inches in diameter and frequently begin to expand as early as the 

 last week in April, just about when Wisterias are finished, continuing well 

 through May and are produced very freely. They are white, flushed 

 mauve. The best of the early spring-flowering climbers, of which there 

 are but few. .Strong 2-year old plants 50c each; extra heavy 3-year old 



plants SI. 00 each. 



Clematis Veitchiana— Honeybells 



Clematis Veitchiana— HoneybeH* 



One of the late Dr. Wilson's introductions from western China. A 

 graceful climber with attractive dark green foliage, attaining a height of 

 6 to 7 feet and producir.g freely dainty, creamy white, fragrant, honey 

 scented, drooping, bell-shaped flowers in pyramidal panicles during Sep- 

 tember and October. A welcome addition to the limited list of climbing 

 plants that flower so late in the season. 50c each; $5.00 per doz. 



Clematis Jackmani 



Euonymus 



The trailing varieties of Euonymus are particularly de- 

 sirable for their dense evergreen foliage and extreme hardi- 

 ness. Some varieties are splendid as ground coverings but 

 those of more vigorous growth may be used like Ivy for 

 covering walls. 



Radicans acutus. A strong-growing variety with long, 

 narrow, dark green leaves veined with gray. Excellent 

 as a ground cover. 



— — coloratus. Same as above but with the leaves 

 tinted purplish red particularly on the underside. 



— kewensis. A variety with very small, dark green 

 foliage. A valuable plant for the rockery. 



— variegatus. A beautiful small-leaved green and 

 white variegated form. 



— vegetus {Evergreen Bittersweet). A streng growing 

 variety, with larger leaves than the type. As an absolutely 

 hardy evergreen wall cover this plant is unequaled.

 3Sc each; $3.50 per doz.; 125.00 per 100.
