GROUP OF CLEMATIS. 
CIcrrjatis. 
THE Clematises are, perhaps, the most popular and valuable of our hardy climbers. They are perfectly hardy and 
very easy to cultivate, requiring only a good, rich soil, and some attention in pruning and training. They bloom 
from May to October, producing during that period an abundance of flowers of all shades of color. We offer 
a specially fine list of tested varieties. 
Albert Victor. Rich lavender, deep purple through the 
center. 
Alexandra. Pale reddish violet ; an effective variety. 
Beauty of Worcester. Flowers of a lovely bluish 
violet shade ; pure white stamens. 
Coccliiea. Scarlet flowers ; very pretty. 50 cents. 
Countess of Ijovelace. Bluish lilac ; rosette shape ; 
a charming double form. 
Crispa. One of the best and showiest native species. 
It produces in June and July large luimbersof very fra- 
grant lilac-purple flowers. 50 cents. 
Davidiaiia. Large axillary clusters of fragrant blue 
Hyacinth-like flowers ; borne in summer. 
Duchess of Edinburgh. One of the best double 
whites, and deliciously fragrant ; the habit and foliage, 
also, are admirable.
