■24 NEW HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS— NEW PETUNIAS. 
NEW JAPANESE CLEMATIS. 
CLEMATIS STANDISHI AND EORTUNEII, . . . 10 6 
Tho following is Mi-. Robert Fortune’s deseription of them — 
“ Clematis Fortuneii, a Yery fine species, ■was found in the gardens near Yeddo, the 
■capital of Japan. Its large white flowers, which it produces in profusion, were 
striking objects even at a considerable distance, and were much admired by the 
Japanese. The first blooms which it has produced in England, give but little idea 
of its real beauty. In Japan they ai'e frequently tinted with pink and rose colour. 
It will probably prove as hardy in England as the other species of Japanese Clematis, 
and will be invaluable as a creeper in our greenhouses and conservatories. Clematis 
foyida Standishi was also met with in cultivation near Yeddo, and is, I think, one of 
tho most beautiful of the family ; tho colour of its flowers is rare and very beautiful, 
a kind of violet-blue, with crimson and carmine shining through it. It will require 
■the same treatment as Clematis Jlorida, and is no doubt quite as hardy,” 
CLEMATIS LANUGINOSA CANDIDA, .5s. 
CLEMATIS LANUGINOSA NIVEA, 7s. 6d. 
Two handsome varieties with largo handsome flowers, similar to C. lanuginosa, 
hut white, those varieties, from their great contrast, will make charming companion 
plants to the blue and violet C. Jackmani and C. rubro violagea. 
VITIS GLAUCESCENS {The Yeddo Vine.) 
This will bo a useful climbing plant, for it has rich glaucous foliage, and is of 
free growth, not subject to mildew, it is a very free setter, and the grapes have a 
Erontignac flavour. lOs. 6d.
