C. scandens. Bittersweet. A rapid-growing, climbing shrub, with orna¬ 
mental, light green foliage, yellow flowers in June and bright orange-yellow 
and crimson fruit in autumn. A most suitable plant for covering trees, 
rocks, rough walls and trellis work. It is also found an excellent grower on 
steep banks, as it increases by suckers and helps to keep steep slopes from 
washing.

C. coccinea. A rapid-growing, handsome and hardy sort, with good 
foliage, and covered from June to late fall with bright coral-red flowers. 
C. crispa. A beautiful delicate species, bearing from June until frost beau¬ 
tiful fragrant, purplish or lavender-colored flowers. 
C. Flammula. Sweet Clematis. A hardy, rapid climber, with small, 
dark green foliage which remains until late in the winter, and in the early fall 
the plant is covered with small white fragrant flowers. An excellent sort for 
the porch or the trellis. 
C. graveolens ; syn., orientalis. A strong, rapid climber, with smooth, 
shining foliage, and bearing in August and September light yellow flowers. 
CLEMATIS LANUGINOSA HYBRIDS 
Large-flowering varieties. These arc among the most useful climbing plants

good foliage and magnificent flowers, make them a most desirable class of plants.
