CLEMATIS. 



Indivisa. A species that is rarely met with, and which is worthy 

 of extended cultivation. Not being hardy, it requires the protec- 

 tion of a cool greenhouse, and may be said to be one of the most 

 valuable of all greenhouse climbers. Its pure white flowers are 

 from 1£ to 2 in. in diameter, and produced in panicles frequently 

 2 feet long. A well-established plant during the early spring 

 months is simply a mass of bloom; the flowers can be used to good 

 advantage in a cut state. The plant is evergreen and at all times 

 attractive. 75 cts. each.

 flowers, enveloped in a creamy-white calyx. (See cut.) 15 cts.

 duced during August and September in many-flowered terminal 

 panicles; it is of shrub-like habit and a grand plant for the con- 

 servatory. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.

 like plant of the 

 easiest culture,

 sirable house 

 plant; it flowers

 ng in bloom for a long period. The
