HARDY CLEMATIS. 



The improvement in this family within a few years sur- 

 passes everyihing of recent introduction in the hardy 

 climbing plants. The effect produced by a wtU-grown 

 plant is grand, being large in flower, rich in coloring, and 

 produced in large quantities. For verandahs, fences, trel-

 They endure our severe winters exceedingly well, and in 

 summer are covered with a continual mass of bloom.
