Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue ok 
Gloire de St. Julien — Tilts is one of the best new perpetual white varieties. The 
flowers are very large and abundant. June to October. 
Hendersoni — This is a handsome variety of very free-blooming character. The flowers 
arc of a rich, bluish purple color and bell shaped. It is ornamental, not only on 
account of the profusion of its flowers, but also for the long continuance of its blos- 
soming season. June to October. 
Henryi— New, and one of the best perpetual hybrids, of robust habit and a very free 
bloomer. The flowers are white, large and very showy. July to October. 
Jackmanni — This is perhaps the best known of the newer tine perpetual Clematis, and 
should have credit of the great popularity now attending this family of beautiful 
climbers. The plant is free in its form of growth, and an abundant and succes- 
sional bloomer, producing flowers until frozen up. The flowers are large, of an 
intense violet purple, remarkable for its velvety richness. Though raised in 1862 — 
since which time many new varieties have been raised and introduced — the Jack- 
manui lias no superior, and very few, if any, equals. July to October. 
Jackmanni Alba — strong, vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, and a most prolific bloomer. 
The flowers are pure white, and make a tine contrast when planted with Jackmanni.

inches across — of a grayish or French white color, with three bluish veins in each 
sepal ; delicate and beautiful. July to October.

white flowers, which become” white after the flowers are fully expanded. One of the

arrested by frost. June to October.
