Dreer’s Specialties in Hardy Climbing Plants 59 
LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS 
Akebia Quinata (Akebia Vine) 
One of the most graceful of our hardy climbers, produc- 
ing in early spring numberless bunches of violet brown 
flowers, which have a pleasant cinnamon odor; most de- 
sirable for positions where a dense shade is not required. 
Strong plants, 50 ets. each; $5.00 per dozen; $35.00 
per 100. 
Ampelopsis 
Veitchi (Boston or Japan Ivy). The most popular climb- 
ing plant for covering brick, stone or wooden walls, trees, 
etc.; when it becomes established it is of very rapid 
growth, and clings to the smoothest surface with the 
tenacity of ivy; the foliage is of a rich olive green 
during the summer, changing to various shades of 
bright crimson and scarlet in the fall. Two-year-old 
plants, 50 ets. each; $5.00 per dozen; $40.00 per 
100. 
Large-flowering Clematis 
No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the 
beautiful large-flowering Clematis. They need rich, deep 
soil, perfect drainage, abundance of water and most im- 
portant of all, they should be planted with the crowns 
three inches beneath the surface of the soil. 
Anderson Henryi. Creamy white, large. 
Jackmani., The popular rich purple variety. 
Price. Either of above '75 cts. each. 
Clematis Paniculata 
This handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and 
most satisfactory climbing flowering plants. Of strong 
rapid growth with small, dense, rich green foliage, and 
pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers, which appear in 
the greatest profusion in August and September, followed 
by silvery feathery seed pods, which make an attractive 
appearance until mid-winter. Strong plants, 25 ets. 
each; $2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per 100.
