Glenjatis. 
The finest vine in existence for small trellises, or piazaa 
pillars. Used also to cover rock work, mound, stumps, etc* 
or can be used as a low trailer, pegging its shoots down to 
the ground. Foliage neat, habit graceful, and for months *. 
solid sheet of bloom, the large starry flowers actually hiding 
the foliage. The flowers are from 4 to 9 inches across, er~ 
tremely showy. All of these are perfectly hardy, and &x* 
the finest varieties. 
Ramona- A strong, rampant grower, fully three times a 
strong as Jackmanni, often growing ten feet the fir 
season. It is a perpetual bloomer, flowers appearing bo 
in the old and the new wood, giving an abundance __ 
blossoms all through the season. In color a very deep 
sky-blue, lovely and distinct from any other. In sis© 
the flowers surpass anything we have ever seen. Pes* 
fectly hardy and very vigorous; new and grand. 80c. 
Henryl— This is the finest of all white Clematis, and should 
find a place in every collection. It is not only a vigoroue 
grower, but is a remarkably free and continuous bloomer 
beginning with the earliest and holding on with t fe5 
latest. Flowers large, of a beautiful creamy white. G0e» 
Jackmanni— This is perhaps the best known of the flu# 
perpetual Clematis, and should have credit for the great 
popularity now attending this family of beautiful climb¬ 
ers. The plant is free in its form of growth, and aa 
abundant and successful bloomer, producing flowers 
until frozen up. The flowers are large, and of an intense 
violet purple, remarkable for its velvey richness. 50c. 
Pan leu lata—We cannot well say too much in praise of thifl 
vine. A clean, thrifty, robust growing vine, of graceful 
habit, with attractive glossy foliage, and covered ia 
August and September with a sheet of clustered snow- 
white bloom of the most delicious fragrance. No other 
vino so completely covers itself with flowers. An arbor 
or portico over which fchi.; Clematis is trained is a wall of 
white for the time being, and what makes it the more 
striking is that nearly all.other vines have ceased bloom- 
at that time. The panicles of bloom are very pretty 
for cutting, the pretty star-like florets, with their feath¬ 
ery stamens appearing to fine advantage contrasted 
with the larger and more vivid flowers of the early 
autumn garden. Perfectly hardy: grows rapidlv. Fin© 
vines, 25c. each; 3 for 60c.; 6 for 81.00. 
Cocclnea— A graceful festooning vine of graceful appear¬ 
ance. Bears a profusion of shining coral-scarlet buds 
and flowers all summer. Blossoms bell-shaped, very 
bright and beautiful. Fine for decorating. 20c. 
Crlspa—Something like Coccinea, but more broadly bell 
shaped, and their color a fine blue, tipped with white. 
Very neat foliage. 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 
One each of aJjovc 6 fine Clematis , $2.00.
