Paniculata. This valuable white Clematis, a native of Japan, has,

deep, clear, green foliage is unusually broad and healthy, and remark- 
ably free from all insect enemies. The flowers are pure white, often 
slightly tinged with cream, from three-quarters to an inch in dia- 
meter, star-shaped, and with a most pleasing and penetrating fra- 
grance. They are borne in heads, on stiff steams 4 to G inches long 
from the axils of the leaves. The fragrance is remarkable in its in 
tensity, and is noticeable quite a distance. For any situation where a 
rapid-growing climber is needed, this will be found a very valuable 
plant. The late season of blooming is a strong point, as most other 
climbers have passed their flowering stage by the middle of August, 
when this is just coming to perfection, and continues blooming
