COBEA 



SCANDENS. 



Another beautiful 

 climbing plant, suit- 

 able either for outside 

 planting, or for the 

 greenhouse or conser- 

 vatory window. Noth- 

 ing is better for the 

 porch, especially in 

 our northern regions, 

 as it is a very rapid 

 cHmber. It grows 

 twenty to thirty feet 

 high, and branches 

 freely, covering a 

 large surface. The 

 foliage is a dark, shiny 

 green and is in itself 

 quite ornamental. 

 The bell-shaped flow- 

 ers open a clear green, 

 turning afterward to 

 a lovely lilac blue. If 

 the seeds are soaked 

 and planted with the 

 edge downward, they 

 wall be sure to ger- 

 minate. Pkt., 10 seeds, 

 4 cts.

 know how many large bou- 

 quets I gave away."

CLEMATIS, JACKMAN'S HYBRIDS. 



These are the large-flowering varieties, so beautiful and showy because of the dense 

 mass of their immense blossoms, four to six inches in diameter, appearing in shades of 

 blue, white, purple, etc. Fine for trellises, arbors, trunks of old trees, porches, etc. 

 Pkt., 30 seeds, 8 cts. CLEMATIS PAN ICU LATA. cobba scandens. 



This variety, the Japanese Virgin's Bower, is prized by many more than the large-flowering Clematis. The vine has beautiful dark 

 green foliage, ornamental in itself without blossoms, but during the blooming season it is covered with a mass of feathery white 

 flowers, debciously fragrant. Hardy perennial. Pkt., 25 seeds, 5 cts.
