Lanuginosa Candida. A good bloomer, having single flowers six inches in 
diameter ; of a grayish white, turning to pure white. June to October. 
Lawsoniana. A continuous bloomer ; flowers often five inches in diameter, open- 
ing a rich, glistening, rosy purple, gradually changing to a mauve purple. June 
to October. 
Mme. Edward Andre (New). Flowers large, of a beautiful bright velvety red ; 
free-flowering and continuous bloomer. 
Paniculata. Of Japanese origin. Perfectly hardy and a rapid climber, producing a 
mass of pure white sweet-scented flowers. Unlike any other clematis, the flowers 
are borne in long panicles and appear in August ; the foliage remains fresh and 
green into early winter. 
Ramona. A new American seedling clematis. It is a strong, rampant grower, we 
think fully three times stronger than the Jackmanni, and is very hardy. It is a 
free and perpetual blooming variety, both on the old year's growth and also on the 
wood of the current year ; the color of the flower is a deep .sky-blue, and very 
attractive ; the size of the flower is larger than any variety we ever saw, very many 
flowers running from five to nine inches in diameter, and as large as eighteen 
inches in circumference. 
Rubella. Has the same continuous flowering habit as the Jackmanni ; flowers seven 
inches in diameter, commonly six-sepaled ; color a deep velvety claret, the rich red- 
dish flush giving it a very distinct appearance. June to October. 
Star of India. A very showy, free-flowering sort, with large flowers, first of a red- 
dish plum color, changing to a violet purple, with turkey red bars in the centre of 
each flower leaf A variety of great merit. July to October. 
Viticella Rubra Grandiflora. Should be in every collection. A fine bloomer. 
Flowers large, handsome, and ol a rich claret red color. July to October. 
DOUBLE VARIETIES. 
Duchess of Edinburgh. This is without doubt the best of the double pure whites. 
Deliciously scented. 
Lucie Lemoine. Flowers white, double, large, and well Ibrmed. Very showy. 
Blooms only in spring. 
ROSES. 
The rose has for all ages been a favorite flower, and as such has a place in general 
literature that no other plant can rival. 
While nearly all desire, and perhaps make an effort to have an abundance of roses 
in their season, yet many fail, and the failure is usually due to planting inferior bushes, 
thousands of which are sent out over the country every year at a very low price. Our roses 
cost more than the weak, puny, hot-house plants referred to, yet the result shows that 
we give our cnstomere as much for their money as any firm in the country. Our bushes 
are grown out-of-doors, in ordinary soil, and are as hardy and vigorous as it is possible 
to make them. When properly planted and cared for, they give perfect satisfaction. 
While our list might be made much longer, we think it includes about all the
