Fine Hardy Clematis. Those who have

 flowers produced by Jackmani Superba

 Clematis are undoubtedly the most beau- 

 tiful of all flov/ering vines. The fiowers 

 are grandly beautiful and of very large 

 size, often measuring from 4 to 6 inches 

 in diameter, and are borne in gorgeous 

 wreaths and clusters of bloom that hang 

 in graceful festoons from the vine during 

 July and August. We offer strong plants 

 of their own roots, superior to grafted 

 plants.
