well covered with neat, rich, green foliage, and in 
early summer a profusion of large, pure white 
flower clusters. Very hardy and most effective.

Hardy Climbing Plants 
HARDY CLEMATIS 
PANICULATA (Japanese Virgin’s Bower). This 
handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and 
most satisfactory climging flowering plants. Of 
strong rapid growth, with small, dense, cheerful 
green foliage, and pure white, deliciously fragrant 
flowers, which appear in the greatest profusion in 
August and September, followed by silvery feathery 
seed pods, which make an attractive appearance 
until mid-winter. The plants succeed in almost 
any position. Not only is it adapted to run up all 
kinds of supports, but is just as useful for planting 
among rock-work, sloping banks, covering graves, 
or, in fact, any position where a graceful vine or 
trailer is desired. Strong plants, 75 cents each; 
$7.50 per dozen. 
LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS 
No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the 
beautiful large-flowering Clematis. Their require¬ 
ments are somewhat different from most other plants, 
and proper conditions must be given to secure satis¬ 
factory results. They need rich, deep soil, perfect 
drainage, abundance of water and, most important of 
all, they should be planted with the crowns three inches 
beneath the surface of the soil. They seem to do best 
in a position where they will not be exposed to the full 
sun during the hottest part of the day.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. The foliage is rich, dark
