There are so many purposes they fill that we cannot recommend 
too highly their general use. 
AKEBIA — Quinata. Quick-growing vine; small, fine-1 obed,

with red markings. Extra strong plants, 35c. each (by parcel 
post, 45c.). 
Ampelopsis Veitchii 
CLEMATIS 
This family of Climbing Plants are probably more popular 
than any other. Some of the small flowering varieties are exceed¬ 
ingly fragrant. The large flowering types make a glorious effect on 
account of their gigantic blooms and striking appearance. All 
Clematis delight in plenty of sunlight, rich soil and plenty of 
water in dry weather. Great care should be exercised in planting 
the large-flowering varieties. During the process of transplanting, 
the stem is likely to get broken below the eye shoots, which would 
render the plant useless. To guard against this, place a few stakes 
around the plant to protect it after planting. In the Winter put 
a covering of straw, long manure, or leaves around the roots. 
CLEMATIS MONTANA RUBRA 
Identical in every way with the variety Montana Undulata 
except in color, which is of a pleasing shade of soft rosy-red, a 
most desirable color. Strong plants, 50c. each (by P. P., 60c.). 
CLEMATIS MONTANA UNDULATA 
(Anemone Clematis) 
A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds 
under the most adverse conditions. The Anemone or Wind¬ 
flower-like white, flushed mauve flowers are from 1 K to 2 inches 
in diameter and frequently begin to open the last week in 
April, just when Wisterias are finished flowering, continuing 
well throughout May. The best of the early Spring flowering 
climbers. Strong pot plants, 50c. each (by P. P., 60c.). 
The large flowering Clematis are a most satisfactory flowering vine
