CLEMATIS COCCINEA— THE SCARLET CLEMATIS. 



This remarkably handsome climbing plant, after three years' 

 trial, has 'proved to be one of the most desirable for any pur- 

 pose where climbing plants are reqifircd. The plant is a her- 

 baceous perennial, the stems dying to the surface each winter 

 (this is an advantage where an unobstructed view is required 

 in winter^ ; the vines attain the height of from S to 10 or 12 

 feet, beginning to flower in June and continuing until frost; 

 single vines have from 20 to 33 flowers on each, and fre- 

 quently as many as ten vines will start from one crown each 

 season. 



As will be seen by the cut the flowers are bell-shaped ; in 

 color a rich deep coral-scarlet, shining as if polished, and last- 

 ing a long time when cut. Indeed, one of the most beautiful 

 plants for festooning is to be found in Clematis Coccinea, with 

 its peculiar shaded green and elegantly cut and varied foliage 

 — if it never flowered it would be a handsome climbing vine. 



The plant, during our observation, has no insect pests or 

 enemies : it grows freely in any soil, requiring only one or two 

 hours sunshine to strength. n the vine sufficiently to make a 

 successful flowering season, and above all is perfectly hardy, 

 standing exposure in our severest winters without harm. 50 

 cents. 3 for $1. co.

bold, handsomely colored foliage. $1.00. 

 Aneitumensis. A beautiful Croton ; the midribs and margins 



of the leaves are bright gamboge yellow ; the blades are 



crossed with parallel bars of the same color on a light 



olive-green ground. £2.00. 

 Aureum Maculatum. A small leaved variety of very neat 



and compact habit. The leaves are ovate oblong, not 



over three inches long and one and a-half inches broad, 



deep but bright green, profusely spotted with bright 



yellow. It is quite distinct, and will prove one of the most desirable of this class of plants. 50 cents. 

 Baron James de Rothschild. One of the finest of the large-leaved section, with yellow midrib, changing to a 



rich violet crimson ; very effective and showy. $1.00. 

 Challenger. One of the best and most distinct of the long-leaved varieties. The leaves are broadly lanceolate. 



spreading and slightly recurved. The variegation is very striking. The midribs are at first creamy white, 



which gradually become suffused with red, finally deepening to bright crimson carmine. The ground color 



of the blade is light green, but much blotched and streaked with yellow that takes a rosy tint as the midrib 



deepens'in color. $i.co 10 £2.00. 

 Cronstadti. A remarkable variety, in which the curious twistings and interruptions frequently manifested in this 



class of plants arc developed in a very striking manner. The leaves are of medium size, lanceolate und
