MISS EMMA V. WrIITE. 



Prior Lake, Minn., Mar. 6, 1897— "I have rec- 

 ommended you to several, as I know your seeds 

 to be of the best, having planted them for two 

 years now and had good luck with all of them." 

 Mrs. Lottie McKennett. ' 



CANARY BIRD 

 FLOWER. 



This cannot be recommend- 

 ed too highly as a climbing 

 vine for the porch or trellis. 

 It grows rapidly, reaching the 

 top of the porch in the early 

 season, has very pretty orna- 

 mental foliage, and, with its 

 curiously-shaped, finely fring- 

 ed flowers of a clear, golden 

 yellow, having a fanciful re- 

 semblance to a bird with out- 

 stretched wings, it cannot but 

 become a favorite when once 

 its acquaintance is made. 

 Picked and massed together, 

 the flowers make a beautiful 

 bunch for the corsage, lasting 

 a long time. Annual. Pkt., 4c. 



COBEA SCANDENS. 



Another beautiful climbing plant, 

 suitable 'either for outside planting, 

 or for the greenhouse or conserva- 

 tory window. Nothing is better for 

 the porch, especially in our northern 

 regions, as it is a very rapid climber. 

 It grows 20 to 30 feet high, and 

 branches freely, covering a large sur- 

 face. The bell-shaped flowers open 

 a clear green, turning afterward to 

 a lovely lilac blue. If the seeds are 

 soaked and planted with the edge 

 downward, they will be sure to ger- 

 minate. Pkt., 4 cts.

CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



This variety, the Japanese Virgin's Bower, was introduced from Japan some 

 years ago ana is prized by many more than the large-flowering Clematis. The 

 vine is of strong, rapid growth, has beautiful dark green foliage, ornamental 

 in itself without blossoms, but during the blooming season it is covered with a 

 mass of feathery white flowers, deliciously fragrant. It is a hardy perennial, 

 succeeding in almost any position or condition of soil. Pkt., 5 cts. 



CLEMATIS, JACKMAN'S HYBRIDS. 



These are the large-flowering varieties, so beautiful 

 and showy because of the dense mass of their immense 

 blossoms, 4 to 6 inches in diameter, appearing^n shades 

 of blue, white, purple, etc. Fine for trellises, arbors, 

 trunks of old trees, porches, etc. Pkt., 8 eta.
