The Clematis is, porhaps, the most popular climbing plant of the day, and is 

 constantly gaining in popularity. Entirely hardy, blooming during the entire 

 season, embracing great variety of color, of the most beautiful tints of blue, 

 purple, lavender, scarlet, white, etc.; double and single — some of the flowers 

 being six inches in diameter, and from their wavy, graceful contour, when 

 wafted by a slight breeze, the flowers resemble huge butterflies hovering among 

 the green leaves. They are all climbers, and, if trained carefully, attain a 

 height of from five to fifteen feet in one season. The plants we offer, being 

 grown in pots, can be planted out with safety at any time in the Northern 

 States from April to June, or in the Southern States from January to May.

 unknown in Clematis, but in this sort we

 hardy as the other well-known sorts.

" Fragrant Virgin's Bower." 



This is an old and well-known species, en-

 white, deliciously fragrant. The plants at- 

 tain a height of twenty feet, and, when 

 trained on trellis work and in full bloom, 

 look like a mass of snow. The odor is per- 

 ceptible at a distance of 200 yards. Hardy.
