C^lt^rmftie. There is nothing in the line of climbing plants or vines that surpasses the cle- 
V<IdII<l.l>I9« niatis in gracefulness of foliage and beauty of blossom. When given proper 
care and attention they make a very rapid growth and well repay the care and labor bestowed 
tipon them. They require a deep soil richly fertilized. Most varieties are benefitted by a slight 
protection during the first two or three winters.

PANICtTLATA— A magnificent white-flowering sweet-scented Cleiaatls. Hardy In 
all parts of the United States. Without doubt, this Clematis is the most beautiful 
of all the hardy flowering climbers. The blossoms are pure white, and borne in great 
bunches or clusters, covering the plant so completely as to nlmost hide from view the rich, glossy 
jrrecn foliage. No iloweringvine that we have ever seen is so desirable for training over a wall 
or on a porch ortrellis. It usually begins to bloom early in August, and produces its great panicles of 
bloom in the greatest profusion for a number of weeks. The blossoms are very sweet scented, and a 
small bunch of the cut flowers will perfume a whole room, filling the air with their deliclans 
fragrance. The vine is of the most hardy, healthy habit, and frequently grows to height of SO or 40 feet 
in a single season. Another valuable point in this climber is the fact that it comes into flower late in the 
season, when nearly all otiier vines have ceased blooming. Wc have grown an enormous stock for our 
trade this season, and the plants are all thrifty, healthy, w-eU rooted, and cannot fail to give satisfaction.
