These vines delight in a sunny situation 
and good rich soil. They are perfectly 
hardy but the top kills back in winter. 
There is nothing better for training on 
pillars, trellises, porches, or for covering 
rocks or old stumps. All strong field- 
grown plants. 
Clematis Paniculata — T h i s remarkable 
flower blooms in September. It is one 
of the finest hardy climbers, with hand- 
some foliage, and of very vigorous, rapid 
growth. In lace summer it produces 
dense sheets of medium sized, pure white 
flowers of the most pleasing fragrance, 
making a gorgeous sight. This is a new 
Japanese plant, perfectly hardy ?nd 
finely adapted for covering any object.

best known of the Clematii. The plant 
is a free grower, and an abundant and 
succesful bloomer, producing flowers un- 
til frost. Flowers are large and of an 
incense violet-purple, remarkable for 
their velvety richness. It has no super- 
ior. July to October. 75c each.

grower, hardy, perpecual bloomer. 75c

Roses 
Our bushes are all strong, field-grown, two-year-old plants on their own roots, 
and are not to be compared to the cheap bushes often offered which are budded on 
short-lived foreign stocks. 
Plant them three to four inches deeper than they stood in the nursery and in 
the richest, best soil obtainable. Trim off nearly all the top and they will do much 
better than if it was left on. Use powdered sulphur for mildew arsenate of lead for 
eating insects and tobacco infusion or strong soap solution for lice. 
of exceptional value and attractiveness.

shade of rose and crimson, with w.iite 
and yellow variegacions. 7Sc each.
