HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
There is no more ornamental class of plants than Clematis and the rich show of bloom produc¬ 
ed by the best varieties is far too magnificent to be fairly portrayed by mere words. The flowers 
are of large size, measuring four to six and sometimes eight inches in diameter. The colors run 
from intense velvety purple, through blue, lavender and white, and a crimson variety (Madame Edward Andre) has 
lately been added to the list. We presume every one of our customers who sees Clematis plants in bloom each summer 
promises to plant some in his own yard or garden at the next opportunity. They are especially adapted to our climate. 
Plant in a sunny spot in good garden soil, dug very deep, placing the crown of the roots % inch below the surface of the 
soil. We recommend the application of well-rotted manure in holes a few inches away from the plant in opposite directions. 
The feeding roots reach out to these holes, which may be watered freely, with better success than when the manure is 
applied directly to the base of the plant. 
CLEMATIS 
DUCHESS OF EDINBURG—One of the best double whites, of vigorous habit, free of bloom and deliciously fragrant. 
HENRYII -A vigorous grower and a free bloomer, producing its large pure white flowers constantly during summer 
and early autumn. The best large-flowered variety producing pure white flowers. 
J.VCKM ANII The flowers are large, intense rich velvety violet-purple and are produced in such masses to form a 
cloud of bloom. Well-known and very popular. 
M A DAME BA RON-VEILL A HD -Of recent introduction and quite like its parent, the popular Jackmanii, in habit and 
make up, except that it» flowers area lively, stainy lavender pink; entirely distinct from any other variety, charming in effect 
MADAME EDWARD AND E—Also of the Jack¬ 
manii type and is the nearest approach to a bright red that 
has yet appeared. The flowers are very large, usually six 
petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, and are 
produced in bewildering profusion. 
RAMONA Lavender blue, flowers large, often nine 
inches across. Most beautiful of its color known. 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA One of the most valu¬ 
able of all hardy flowering vines. Of exceedinglv rapid 
growth, soon reaching a height of fifteen to twenty feet and 
spreading out in all directions. Small, pure white flowers, 
borne in great masses of panicles or clusters on long stems, 
so profuse as to fairly cover the plant with a sheet of fleecy 
white. Its blooming period is in August and September, 
when most other vines have ceased, and it.is then a sight to 
behold. Not its least charm is its delightful Magnolia like 
fragrance. Hardy as an oak. Price of Clematis. 14c.
