THE  CLEMATISES 
No  climber  that  we  grow  produces  such  rich  sheets  of  bloom  for  so  long  a  season  or  so 
lavishly.  As  a  decoration  for  verandas,  walls  or  arbors  it  has  no  rival  among  strong-growing, 
blossoming  vines. 
We  offer  the  most  satisfactory  varieties  at  40  cts.  each,  $4  per  doz.,  except  where  otherwise  noted 
Mme.  Edouard  Andre.  New  Red  Clematis.

of  very  clean,  quick,  luxuriant  growth.  Its 
fragrant  pure  white  flowers  are  massed  in 
showy  panicles.  ^^^^

Hardy  Perennial  Plants 
Some  of  the  finest  flowers  of  the  whole  season  are  supplied  by  hardy  perennials.  Until  hardy 
plants  come  into  more  general  use  we  cannot  hope  for  permanently  interesting  and  really  artistic 
gardens  in  this  country.  A  good  selection  of  them,  carefully  planted,  quickly  becomes  effective 
and  increases  in  beauty  from  year  to  year.  We  offer  good,  strong  roots  of  the  genus  and  species 
found  most  satisfactory  in  general  planting.  Many  Perennial  Plants  can  be  advantageously  used 
in  large  shrubberies  to  insure  a  more  continuous  and  varied  bloom  eftect  during  the  entire  season.
