POMPON AND HARDY CHRYSANTHE¬ 
MUMS. The popularity of the “Queen of Au¬ 
tumn,” as grown by florists, has caused attention 
to be given to the smaller flowered, but none the 
less beautiful, hardy sorts of this family. We 
are glad to be in a position to offer the following 
eighteen varieties for garden cultivation. They 
include a much greater diversity of color and 
form than has hitherto been obtainable in any 
collection, and we are sure they will delight all 
who plant them. 
While they are all hardy, it is always well to 
give them a protection with leaves or litter dur¬ 
ing winter. Each, io cts.; per doz., $i.oo.

derfully attractive. They should not be set out until danger of 
frost is past. 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA. We cannot better describe this 
marvellously beautiful and fragrant climber than by the following, 
which appeared in a Boston daily paper, Sept. 19, 1892. “This is 
the time of the full splendor of that wonderful climber, as yet 
quite new here, Clematis Paniculata. It covers some porches that the ‘ Listener ’ knows well, with a white sheet 
of beautiful bloom, and fills the air all about with a most delicious perfume. It was introduced only a few 
years ago, and its growth is so marvellously rapid, and its adaption to our climate so complete, that it already 
threatens to reach the housetops. In a general way it resembles our common wild Clematis or Virgin’s 
Bower, but its blossoms are more profuse and pure white, and exquisitely and penetratingly fragrant. It needs 
a trellis to grow upon. Of course it is an added recommendation to it that its flowers come in late September, 
when shrubs and climbers in bloom are rare. It is only one of about a million beautiful things, more or less, 
in nature and art, that we owe the mother-land of gentleness and beauty, Japan.” Plants, 25 cts. to $1.00 each; 
$3.00 to $10.00 per doz.
