NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1887.

Clematis Jackmanni ,/Uba. 



Without exception this is the best hardy climbing: 

 plant that has been sent out for many years. It has 

 all the characteristics of Jackmanni, being free bloom- 

 ing and as vigorous. The flowers are nearly pure 

 white and make a fine contrast when planted near 

 Jackmanni. It has been tested for three years and 

 has always won favor wherever shown. 

 Strong plants, $1.00 each. 



dJfllflA ljW$i\ pE^FEfJT^. 



A most distinct and handsome sort, bearing im- 

 mense leaves 12 to 18 inches wide and three feet long, 

 of a bright bronze red color. The habit of the plant 

 is very robust, in rich soil it will attain a height of 

 8 feet and at a short distance appear like the Abys- 

 sinian Banana. Unlike the other varieties it does 



not flower and can only be propagated by division. 



This sort should be largely grown, as with it much 



finer effects can be made than with any other variety. 



50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen.
