The Fleecy-White Fragrant Clematis 



Clematis Paniculata. 



This grand climbing vine, one of the 

 most valuable ever sent to us from 

 Japan — the source of so many floral 

 wonders — is well worthy of a place 

 on pretentious dwelling or humble 

 cottage. Blooms in the early fall 

 and is one mass of fleecy-white 

 fragrant flowers. These are suc- 

 ceeded by the silken seed vessels 

 almost as ornamental as the flowers. 

 It will grow fifteen to twenty feet; in a 

 season, it is insect-proof, it is per- 

 fectly hardy, it adapts itself to all 

 situations, thrives everywhere, and 

 need only be seen to be admired.
