MADAME VELLARD JACKMANNI HENRY! MADAME EDOUARD ANDRE 



CLEMATIS 



Tlicre is r- more ornamental class of plants than 

 Clematis and the rich show of bloom produced by 

 the best varieties is far too magnificent to be fairly 

 portrayed by ir.cre words. The flowers are of large 

 size measuring- four to six inches in diameter. The 

 colors run from intense velvety purple through blue, 

 lavender and wliitc, and a new crimson variety (Ma- 

 dame Edward Andre) has latelj'' been added to the 

 list. Plants thrive best in deep, rich, moist soil, 

 mulch around plants in dry weather. 



Madame Baron-Velllard. Of recent 



introduction and quite like its parent, the popular 

 Jackmanni, in habit and make-up, except that it 

 flowers are a lively satiny lavender p;nk; entirely 

 distinct from any other variety and charming in 

 effect. Small plants 20 cts., each, strong plants 

 50 cts. each. 



Jackmanni. The flowers are large 



intense rich velvety, violet-purple and are pro- 

 duced in such masses as to form a cloud of blOom. 

 Well known and very popular. Small plants . 20 

 cts. each, strong plants 50c each. 



Henryi. A Vigorous grower and 



a free bloomer, producing its large pure white 

 flowers constantly during the summer and early 

 autumn. The best large-flowered variety producing 

 pure white flowers. Small plants 20c each, strong 

 plants 50c each. 



Madame Edouard Andre. Also of the 



Jackmanni type and is the nearest approach to a

 ing shade of carmine, and are produced in bewild- 

 ering profusion. Small plants 20c each, strong

CLEMATIS... 



...PANICULATA 



One of the most vaUiable 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 wliite 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 per- 

 iod 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 singU 

 vine, for a long distance. It is as hardj 

 as an oak. Price small plants 20c each, 3 

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