Dingce Hardy Climbing Vines 



Clematis paniculata ■ 



(See illustration) 

 A Magnificent Hardy Climbing Vine 

 The flowers are pure white and ^re 

 borne in great panicles or clusters of 

 bloom, fairly covering the plants, so that 

 it is a mass or sheet of fleecy white. The 

 fragrance is delicious, resembling the 

 English Hawthorn blossom, and so subtle 

 and penetrating that a large plant in 

 bloom fills the air with its exquisite fra- 

 grance. It begins to bloom late in August 

 or early in September, when other hardy 

 climbers are out of bloom. Grows quickly 

 and strongly, reaching a height of 15 to 

 20 feet. Hardy in all sections of the 

 country. There is no better hardy vine. 

 Strong pot plants, 15 cts. each, 50 cts. for 

 4, $1 for 9; larger plants, 25 cts. each, $1 

 for 5.
