 from you last year. Grew well in spite of the 

 drought. — Mrs. W. S. Usher, Cherokee, Iowa. 



CLEMATIS— PANICULATA 



One of the most valuable of all hardy flowering vines, of exceedingly rapid growth soon 

 reaching a height of fifteen or twenty feet and spreading out in all directions. Small, pure 

 white flowers, 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, which fills the air everywhere, even 

 from a single vine, for a long distance. It is as hardy as an oak. Price, small plants 20 

 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts., strong plants 40 cts. each, 3 for $1.00.
