Clematis, Paniculta. 
Japanese Virgin’s Bower. Hardy Perennial. 
This is one of the few really good hardy climbers. The leaves 
are of a bright, glossy green, and when in bloom it astonishes 
with the quantity of flowers, the plant being completely hid¬ 
den beneath a blanket of white hawthorn-scented blossoms; a 
grand plant for piazzas, fences, in fact, any position where a 
cmnbens wanted; it is just the thing for covering terraces or 
embankments, does equally well in sunshine or shade, and 
stands unrivaled as a plant for the cemetery. Soak the seed in 
warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Pkt., 50 seeds, 8 cts. 
Don't let the 
Coleus Plants 
blossom; the 
blooms don't 
amount to 
anything, and 
so much 
strength is 
taken from 
the leaves.

ways pleased to 
receive your cat¬ 
alogue. It is a 
fine memento of 
coming spring. 
I am always 
pleased to have 
you fill my ord¬

16, 1903: The flow¬ 
er seeds I got of 
you last year 
proved to be the 
best I ever plant¬ 
ed. 
Coleus. 
One of the best known and most universally admire 1 
ornamental foliage plants, in an endless variety of col¬ 
ors and shadings, indispensable for ribbon and carper 
bedding, or as single specimens. Coleus seed germin¬ 
ates easily, and success is as sure as with an ordinary 
annual. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 
Cockscomb, Queen of Dwarfs. 
This is the best dwarf-growing Cockscomb; the plants 
only grow about eight inches high, are firmly set in the 
crown with well-balanced, large heads, ten to twelve 
inches across. They grow very uniformly and present 
an unusually solid effect in color, which is rich, ruby- 
red, of extreme brilliancy. Pkt., 200 seeds, 5 cts.
