CLEMATIS— PANICULATA 



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 blooming 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. 

 Price, small plants 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts., strong plants 40 cts. each, 3 for $1.00.
