Jackman's New Hybrid Clematis. 



An entirely new and distinct type, the result of crosses between 

 Coccinea and Star of India, both of which succeed well in our 

 climate. • They combine all the good points of their parents in 

 hardiness, vigorous growth and freedom of bloom, which together 

 with their entirely distinct coloring and novel shape will make 

 them valuable additions to our list of Hardy Climbers. 

 Countess of Onslow. A bright violet-purple with a broad 

 band of scarlet down the centre of each petal. It is of open 

 bell-shaped form, with four to six petals to each flower ; very 

 useful for decorative purposes, as when cut will keep fresh in 

 water for several days.

 the center, softening down to lilac pink round the margin ;

 ful for cutting. 5 cents each.

The Climbing Hydrangea. 



( Schizophragma Hydrangeoides. ) 

 This grand climber, though introduced from Japan in 1879, is 

 always scarce and but rarely offered for sale. It is one of the 

 most desirable and interesting of our hardy climbers, and though 

 at first slow in growth, it is of vigorous habit after it once becomes 

 established. Its flowers, which are borne in large trusses, are 

 similar to a white Hydrangea, and when in flower, during July and 

 August, make a handsome display. It is one of the best flowering 

 vines we know of for planting against a tree or wall, as it clings 

 naturally to any rough surface and requires no support or tying. 

 We offer a limited lot of extra strong plants, established in 

 tubs, 3 to 4 feet high; will produce a quick effect. $1.50 each. 



Humulus Lnpnlns Aureus.
