MADAME VEILEARD. JACKMANNI. 
HENKYI. 
MADAME EDOUARD ANDRE. 
CLEMATIS. 
Price of Clematis, 14c each; 3 for 35c. Seven sorts, all 
different, for 80c. 
There is no more ornamental class of plants than Clematis, and the 
rich show of bloom produced by the best varieties is far too magnifi- 
centtobefairly portrayed by mere words. The flowers are of large size 
measuring four to six and sometimes eight inches in diameter. The 
colors run from intense velvety purple, through blue, lavender and 
white, and a crimson variety (Madame Edouard Andre) has lately 
been added to the list. We presume every one of our customers who 
sees Clematis plants in bloom each summer promises to plant some in 
his own yard or garden at the next opportunity. They are especially 
adapted to open lawns or house fronts in the city or country. Per- 
fectly hardy, bearing beautiful and lasting flowers. The varieties we 
offer here are those best adapted to our climate. 
Plant in a sunny spot in good garden soil, dug very deep, placing 
the crown of the roots %-inch below the surface of the soil. We rec- 
ommend the application of well-rotted manure in holes a few inches 
away from the plant in opposite directions. The feeding roots reach 
out to these holes, which may be watered freely, with better success 
than when the manure is applied directly to the base of the plant. 
Duchess of Edinburgh. One of the best double whites, vigor- 
ous habit, very free of bloom and deliciously fragrant. 
Ifenryi. A vigorous grower and a free bloomer, producing its 
large, pure white flowers constantly during summer and early autumn. 
The best large-flowered variety producing pure white flowers. 
Jack maiini. The flowers are large, intensely rich velvety vio- 
let-purple and are produced in such masses as to form a cloud of 
bloom. Well known and very popular. 
Madame Varon-Veillard. Of recent introduction and quite 
like its parent, the popular Jackmanni, in habit and make up, except 
that its flowers are a lively, satiny, lavender pink; entirely dis- 
tinct from any other variety and charming in effect. 
Madame Edouard Andre. Also of the Jackmanni type and is 
the nearest approach to a bright red that has yet appeared. The 
flowers are very large, usually six petaled, of a distinct, pleasing 
shade of carmine, and are produced in bewildering profusion. 
Paniculata. One of the most valuable of all hardy flowering 
vines. Of exceedingly rapid growth, soon reaching a height of fif- 
teen to twenty feet and spreading out in all directions. Small, pure- 
white flowers, borne in great masses of panicles or clusters on long 
stems, so profuse as to fairly cover the plant with a sheet of fleecy 
white. Its blooming period is in August and September, when most- 
other vines have ceased, and it is then a sight to behold. Not its 
least charm is its delightful Magnolia-like fragrance. Hardyasanoak. 
Ramona. Lavender blue; flowers large, often nine inches across. 
Most beautiful of its color yet known.
