The Altheas are fine, free-growing, flowering shrubs 

 of the easiest cultivation. They produce a profusion of 

 pretty rose-like flowers during August and September, 

 when other flowers are scarce. The diversity of color 

 of the different sorts makes it possible to use them in 

 considerable quantities eveu in grounds of small extent. 

 They make very pretty flowering hedges.

.Shrub orders must reach us not later than April 15,

 April 10th: no orders filled after that date. 



Price of Clematis, 14 cts. each; 3 for 35 cts. Seven 

 sorts, all different, for 80 cts. 



There is no more ornamental class of plants than 

 Clematis, and the rich show of bloom produced by the 

 best varieties is far too magnificent to be fairly por- 

 trayed by mere words. The flowers are of large size, 

 measuring four to six and sometimes eight inches in 

 diameter. The colors run from iutense velvety purple, 

 through blue, lavender and white, and a crimson variety 

 (Madame Edouard Andre) has lately been added to the 

 list. We presume every one of our customers who see 

 Clematis plants in bloom each summer promises to plant 

 some in his own yard or garden at the next opportunity. 

 Thev are especially adapted to open lawns or house 

 fronts in the city or country. Perfectly hardy, bearing 

 beautiful and lasting flowers. The varieties we offer 

 here are those best adapted to our climate. 



Plant in a sunny spot in good garden soil, dug very 

 deep, placing the crown of the roots %-inch below the 

 surface of the soil. We recommend the application of 

 well-rotted manure in holes a few inches away from the 

 plant in opposite directions. The feeding roots reach 

 out to these holes, which may be watered freely, with 

 better success than when the manure is applied directly 

 to the base of the plant. 



Duchess of Edinburgh — One of the best double whites, 

 vigorous habit, very free of bloom and deliciously fra- 

 grant. 



Henryi — A vigorous grower and a free bloomer, pro- 

 ducing its large, pure white flowers constantly during 

 summer and early autumn. The best large-flowered va- 

 riety producing pure white flowers. 



Jackmanni — The flowers are large, intensely rich vel- 

 vety violet-purple and are produced in such masses as 

 to form a cloud of bloom. Well known and very popular. 



Madame Varon-Veillard — Of recent introduction and 

 quite like its parent, the popular Jackmanui, in habit and 

 make-up, except that its flowers are a lively, satiny, 

 lavender pink; entirely distinct from any other variety 

 and charming in effect. 



Madame Edouard Andre — Also of the Jackmanni type 

 and is the nearest approach to a bright red that has yet 

 appeared. The flowers are very large, usually six pet- 

 aled, of distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, and are 

 produced in bewildering profusion. 



Paniculata — One of the most valuable of all hardy 

 flowering vines. Of exceedingly rapid growth, soon 

 reaching a height of fifteen to twenty feet and spread- 

 ing out in all directions. Small, pure-white Bowers, 

 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. Hardy as an oak. 



Romona — Lavender blue; flowers large, often nine 

 Inches across. Most beautiful of its color yet known. 



Cinnamon Vine. 



\ beautiful bardy Climbing Vine, which will quickly 

 surround an arbor, window or veranda with a profusion 

 of vines covered with handsome, glossy, heart-shaped 

 leaves, bearing great numbers of delicate white blos- 

 soms which emit a delicious cinnamon fragrance. We

 hardy, thriving everywhere, and when once planted will

 by everyone. Plant the bulbs ahonl one Inch deep in rich
