Clematis , Panlculta . 
Japanese Virgin* s Bower. Hardy Perennial. 
This is one of the few really good hardy climbors. The leaves 
are of a bright, glossy green, and when in bloom it astonishes 
with the quantity of flowers, the plant being completely hid- 
den beneath a blanket of white hawthorn-scented blossoms; a

grand plant for piazzas, fences, in fact, any position where a 
climber is wanted ; it is just the thing for covering terraces or 
embankments, does equally well in sunshine or shade, and 
stands unrivaled as a plant for the cemetery. Soak the seed in 
warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Pkt., 50 seeds, 8 cts.

Coleus. 
One of the best known and most universally admired 
ornamental foliago plants, in an endless variety of col- 
ors and shadings, indispensable for ribbon and carpel 
bedding, or as single specimens. Coleus seed germin- 
ates easily, and success is as sure as with an ordinary 
annual. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 
Cockscomb , Queen of Dwarfs. 
This is the best dwarf-growing Cockscomb; the plants 
only grow about eight inches high, are firmly set in the 
crown with well-balanced, largo heads, ten to twelve 
inches across. They grow very uniformly and present 
an unusually solid effect in color, which is rich, ruby- 
red, of extreme brilliancy. Pkt., 200 seeds, 5 cts . 
Don't let the 
Coleus Plants 
blossom; the 
blooms don't 
amount to 
anything, and 
so much 
strength is 
taken from 
the leaves.
