CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



(Japanese Virgin's Bower.) 



This handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satis- 

 factory climbing flowering plants. Of strong, rapid growth, with 

 small, dense, cheerful green foliage, and pure white, deliriously fra- 

 grant flowers which appear in the greatest profusion in August, fol- 

 lowed by silvery, feathery seed-pods, which makes an attractive 

 appearance until mid-winter. The plant succeeds in almost any posi- 

 tion; not only is it well adapted to run up all kinds of supports, but 

 is just as useful for planting among rock- work, sloping banks, cover- 

 ing graves, or, in fact, any position where a graceful vine or trailer is 

 desired. (See cut. )
