MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 
CANARY BIRD 
FLOWER. 
This cannot be recommend¬ 
ed too highly as a climbing 
vine for tlic porch or trellis. 
It grows rapidly, reaching the 
top of the porch in the early 
season, has very pretty orna¬ 
mental foliage, and, with its 
curiously-shaped, finely fring¬ 
ed flowers of a clear, golden 
yellow, having a fanciful re¬ 
semblance to a bird with out¬ 
stretched wings, it cannot but 
become a favorite when once 
its acquaintance is made. 
Picked and massed together, 
the flowers make a beautiful 
bunch for the corsage, lasting 
a longtime. Annual. Pkt.,*lc. 
Prior Lake, Minn., Mar. G, 1697.—"I have rec¬ 
ommended you to several, as I know your seeds 
to be of the best, having planted them for two 
years now and had good luck with all of them.” 
Mrs. Lottie McKeshtett. 
COBEA SCANDENS. 
Another beautiful climbing plant, 
suitable either for outside planting, 
or for the greenhouse or conserva¬ 
tory window. Nothing is better for 
the porch, especially in our northern 
regions, as it is a very rapid climber. 
It grows 20 to 30 feet high, and 
branches freely, covering a large sur¬ 
face. The bell-shaped flowers open 
a clear green, turning afterward to 
a lovely lilac blue. If the seeds are 
soakeef and planted with the edge 
downward, they will be sure to ger 
minute. Pkt., 4 ct«. 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 
Phis variety, the Tnpanese Virgin’s Bower, was introduced from Japan some 
years ago and is prized by many more than the large-flowering Clematis. The 
vine Is of strong, rapid growth, has beautiful dark green foliage, ornamental 
in itself without blossoms, but during the blooming season it is covered with a 
mass of feathery white flowers, deliciously fragrant. It is a hardy perennial, 
micceeding in almost any position or condition of soil. Pkt., 5 cts. 
CLEMATIS, JACKMAN’S HYBRIDS. 
These are the large-flowering varieties, so beautiful 
and showy because of the dense mass of their immense 
blossoms, 4 to 6 inches in diameter, appearing in shades 
of blue, white, purple, etc. Fine for trellises, arbors, 
trunks of old trees, porches, etc. Pkt., 8 et«.
