CLEMATIS

A new annual flower of exquisite, jewel-like daintiness

stems, growing to some thirty inches, and bearing in loose 
alternate clusters, litle five-pointed blossom stars of lumin¬ 
ous pink rosiness. Then come airy, long-hanging capsules, 
each like a bead of coral, polished to brilliancy, hundreds 
of them on each spire-like stem. The plant is of easiest 
culture in full sun and good drainage; showy for many 
months. Botanically it is Boerhaavia adscendens. But little 
seed available. Pkt. 35c. 
LANDSCAPE PLANNING ARRANGEMENTS 
Half the fun of gardening is in the planning, and 
with the information that I now give through my key 
letter and number scheme, as to the time of flower¬ 
ing, height, sun or shade and the like, it ought not 
to be difficult for anyone to work out their own 
planting plan. The various "Finding Lists” of plants 
for special uses, given at the back of the catalog, 
also should help. I regret that demands on my time 
do not permit me any longer to make up specific 
plans for my customer friends. I like to do this well 
enough, but the business has expanded to the point 
where it is simply impossible for me to continue the 
special service. Please do not ask it.
