CHASE NURSERIES. 
TRUMPET VINE (Bignonin radicans. )— A splendid climber, vigorous and hardy, 
with clusters of large, trumpet-shaped scarlet flowers in August. 
WISTARIA — (Glycine.)— 
✓ CHINESE PURPLE. — (Chinensis purpurea, )— One of the most elegant climbing vines 
known, and a very rapid grower after it gets thoroughly established, sometimes 
making twenty feet of wood in a single season. Bears long clusters of pale blue 
flowers in May and June, and also in September. Extremely hardy. Attains a 
v larger size than any other climber. 
CHINESE WHITE. — (Chinensis alba.)— Habit of growth similar to Chinese Purple, 
but the flowers are somewhat smaller and pure white. Blooms in J une and Sept. 
DOUBLE PURPLE. — (Purpurea fl. pi.) — A magnificent new variety, with perfectly 
double, purple blossoms, borne in very long clusters. Blooms in June and Sep- 
tember. Very hardy. Introduced from Japan by Dr. Parkman, the historian. 
CLEMATIS. 
Although of recent introduction, the finer varieties of clematis are to-day pre-eminently 
the most showy and effective of all the hardy flowering climbing vines known, so far as 
richness of color and elegance of form of the flower is concerned. Nothing can excel the 
surpassing beauty of the many colors of the several varieties. They are peculiarly adapted 
for covering pillars, trellises, walls, fences, rocks, etc., their exceedingly rapid growth 
(making from ten to twelve feet of vine in a single season), rendering them especially 
valuable for hiding from view any unsightly object. They are equally efficient when used 
as a bedding plant, covering a bed very quickly if pegged down occasionally. All of the 
varieties offered by us are entirely hardy, most of them are lavish bloomers, and the 
majority blossom the first season after transplanting. We deliver only a small root. 
We arrange the varieties into three classes: First, those that flower during the summer 
and autumn from shoots of the same year's growth; second, those that flower during the 
spring and early summer, on last year's wood; third, the double flowering sorts.
