OF ALL 



HARDY 



CLEMATIS, PANICULATA— (Japanese Virgin's Bower)— One of the 



most beautiful of our hardy flowering vines. The flowers of pure 

 white, three-fourths of an inch in diameter, star-shaped, and are 

 borne in great panicles or clusters of bloom, fairly covering the 

 plant. These clusters are borne on long, slender stems, which 

 stand out boldly from between the glosssy-green leaves. The 

 fragrance is delicious, resembling the English Hawthorne blos- 

 soms, and will fill the air with fragrance. It begms to bloom in 

 August, at a time when most other hardy climbers are out of bloom — an inestimable 

 advantage. It is a strong, rapid grower, quickly reaching a height of from 15 to 20 feet 

 and spreading out when trained to wires or strings. It is perfectly hardy .in all sections 

 of the country, and it is, in our opinion, the most valuable among hardy' climbing vines.

 paid.

 varieties; a perpetual bloomer. Large field-grown roots, 3 years old, only 50c. each,

ST.\NDISHE — One of the most striking beauties ever offered. In color it is a most exquis- 

 ite lavender-blue of large size, often measuring 6 inches across. Thousands of flowers 

 may be grown on a single plant. Every year's growth adds to its beauty. It is a per- 

 petual bloomer. Large roots 3 years old, 50c each, postpaid.
