Clematis Montana Undulata 



(Anemone Flowered Clematis) 



A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds under 

 the most adverse conditions. The Anemone or Windflower- 

 like white flushed mauve flowers are from 1| to 2 inches in 

 diameter and frequently begin to expand as early as the last 

 week in April, just about when Wisterias are finished, con- 

 tinuing well through May and are produced very freely. 

 The best of the early spring-flowering climbers, of which 

 there are but few. Strong 2-year old plants 50 cts. each; 

 extra heavy 3-year old plants, $1.00 each. 



Clematis Paniculata 



(Japanese Virgin's Bower) 



Small, dense, cheerful green foliage, and pure white, 

 deliciously fragrant flowers, which appear in the greatest 

 profusion in August arxl September, followed by attractive silvery feathery seed 

 pods. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Clematis Veitchiana (Honeybells) 



One of the late Dr. Wilson's introductions from western China. A graceful 

 climber with attractive dark green foliage, attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet and 

 producing freely dainty, creamy white, fragrant, honey scented, drooping, 

 bell-shaped flowers in pyramidal panicles during September and October. A 

 welcome addition to the limited list of climbing plants that flower so late in the 

 season. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Clematis Montana Undulata 

 Anemone Flowered Clematis 



Euonymus 



The trailing Euonymus are particularly desirable for 

 their dense evergreen foliage and extreme hardiness, 

 some varieties on account of this taking the place of the 

 English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the Boxwood 

 as an edging plant. 



Radicans Acuta. A strong growing variety with long 

 narrow dark green leaves veined with gray, excellent as 

 a ground cover. 



— — Colorata. Same as above but with the leaves 

 tinted purplish red particularly on the underside. 



— Kewensis. A variety with very small dark green 

 foliage. A valuable plant for the rockery. 



— Variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and 

 white variegated form. 



— Vegeta (Evergreen Bittersweet). A strong growing 

 variety, with larger leaves than the type. As an ever- 

 green absolutely hardy wall cover this plant is un- 

 equaled. 



Any of the above varieties, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; 

 $20.00 per 100.
