Cobea Scattdeits 



A beautiful climbing 

 plant, suitable either 

 for outside planting, 

 or for the greenhouse 

 or conservatory win- 

 dow. Nothing is bet- 

 ter for the porch, es- 

 pecially in our north- 

 em regions, as it is a 

 very rapid climber. It 

 grows twenty to thirty 

 feet high, and branch- 

 es freely, covering a 

 large surface. The 

 foliage is 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 

 will be sure to germi- 

 nate. Pkt.,4cts. 



East Bethel. Vt.. March 

 1899.— "I bought of you 

 last year Cineraria, Free- 

 sia, Oyclamen and Glox- 

 inia. They all came up 

 well, I had 24 Gloxinias 

 and some are budded 

 now. The Cinerarias are 

 lovely. Have 6 in bloom, 

 no two alike, and have 

 given away a good many. 

 The Freesia has been in 

 bloom and also the cycla- 

 men." 



Edith E. Fowles . 



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., 8 cts. 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



This variety, the Japanese Virgin's Bower, is prized by many more than the large- 

 flowering Clematis. Tne 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, deliciously fragrant, resembling somewhat the orange blossom. Hardy 

 perennial. Pkt., 6 cts. 



COBEA SCANDENS. 



Laurel, Ore., 1899.— "The Cobea Scandens I got 

 of you laBt year was the nicest vine I ever raised. 

 Every seed grew." SabaH ObnSUPP.
