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 cot- 

 tage. No written description, no picture in the limited space of 

 a catalogue, can do justice to it. To see it in the early fall, cov- 

 ering a porch, a trellis, an arbor, a fence, a boundary wall, a slope, 

 or any other object where it is planted, with a mass of fleecy 

 whiteness, exhaling its delicious, Hawthorn-like fragrance, 

 is to admire and want it. Even when the mass of starry flowers 

 is gone, when the fleecy mantle of white has vanished for another 

 year, there is another phase of its beauty evident. Then is seen 

 the thousands of silvery, raw-silk-like, feathery seed vessels 

 hanging in graceful festoons and glistening in the sunlight. Its 

 beauty is not alone in its bloom and seed time; its refreshingly 

 green foliage, its graceful habit, lend it a beauty unmatched. 

 It will grow fifteen to twenty feet in a season, it is insect-proof, 

 it is perfectly hardy, it adapts itself to all situations, thrives 

 everywhere, and need only be seen to be admired. Price, 

 strong plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.
