CLEMATIS. 



Price of Clematis, 14c each; 3 for 35c. Seven sorts, all 

 different, for 80c. 



There is no more ornamental class of plants than Clematis, and the 

 rich show of bloom produced by the best varieties is far too magnifi- 

 cent to be fairly portrayed by mere words. The flowers are of large size 

 measuring four to six and sometimes eight inches in diameter. The 

 colors run from intense 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 

 sees Clematis plants in bloom each summer promises to plant some in 

 his own yard or garden at the next opportunity. They are especially 

 adapted to open lawns or house fronts in the city or country. Per- 

 fectly hardy, bearing beautiful and lasting flowei-s. 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 -'i-inch below the surface of the soil. We rec- 

 ommend 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. 



Dui'liess of E<linbur«:li. One of the best double whites, vigor- 

 ous habit, very free of bloom and deliciously fragrant. 



Henryi. A vigorous grower and a free bloomer, producing its 

 large, pure white flowers constantly during summer and early autumn. 



The best large-flowered variety producing pure white flowers. 



Jaolviuanni. The flowers are large, intensely rich velvety vio- 

 let-purple and are produced in such masses as to form a cloud of 

 bloom. Well known and vei-y popular. 



Madame Varon-Veillarrt. Of recent introduction and quite 

 like its parent, the popular Jackmanni, in habit and make uo, except 

 that its flowers are a lively, satiny, laven«lor pink ; entirely dis- 

 tinct from any other variety and charming in effect. 



Madame Edonard 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 petaled, of a distinct, pleasing 

 shade of carmine, and are produced in bewildering profusion. 



Paniciilata. One of the most valuable of all hardy flowering 

 vines. Of exceedingly rapid growth, soon reaching a height of fif- 

 teen to twenty feet and spreading out in all directions. Small, pure- 

 white flowers, boi-ne 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 

 leastcharm is its delightful Magnolia-like fragrance. Hardyasanoak. 



llamona. Lavender blue; flowers large, often nine inches across. 

 Most b ea utiful of i t s c olor yet known.
