 have seen the magnificent masses of ex- 

 Quisite flowers produced by Jackmanii and 

 other choice varieties of English Clematis,

 flowering vines. The flowers are grandly 

 beautiful and of very large size, often 

 measuring from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, 

 and are borne in gorgeous wreaths and 

 clusters of bloom that hang in graceful 

 festoons from the vine during July and 

 August. We offer strong 3 year old plants
