FIVE SUPERB LARGE FLOWERED CLEMATIS. 
So large and beautiful in form and color of flowers, which are produced in great profusion, and the vines are 
so graceful and refined in habit, that too much can scarcely be said in favor of the finer varieties of Clematis. 
Those here offered are all entirely hardy; requiring no protection and very little care to produce annually a mass 
of bloom utterly impossible to describe. After carefully testing the scores of varieties named in the European cata¬ 
logs, I have selected the following as decidedly the most distinct and valuable of them all. Each one is a gem; note 
the illustration above. The plants are all two years old, grown upon their own roots and will bloom freely at once. 
HENRYI.—The best variety, producing large, white flow¬ 
ers. Its large, clear, ivory white flowers appear in great 
numbers throughout the summer. 
JACK MAN NI.—Tli e best known and most popular of the 
large flowered varieties. Its flowers are rich, velvety 
violet-plum and are produced in such profusion as to form 
a veritable cloud of bloom. The popularity of the Clematis 
is largely due to this grand variety. 
JACKMANNI RUBRA.—The red Jackmanni and similar to 
the popular Jackmanni in all respects except in color of 
the flowers. 
MME. BARON-YEILLARD.—A strong grower and an ex¬ 
ceedingly free bloomer, growing more rapidly than its 
parent, C. Jackmanni. It blooms later than other vari¬ 
eties of its class and continues until frost. Flowers very 
large and of rosy-lilac color. 
MME. EDOUARD ANDRE.—Also of the Jackmanni type. 
The flowers are very large, usually six petaled, of a dis¬ 
tinct, pleasing shade of rosy-carmine and are produced in 
bewildering profusion. 
Each, 25c; doz., $2.50. A set of the five sorts for $1.00. 
FOAMY FLOWERED CLEMATIS- 
GRAYEOLENS ( Orientalis ).—A species 
■»f rapid growth, attaining a height of 
1 2 to 15 feet and quite similar in every 
way to the nonpar C. paniculata, ex¬ 
cept in color of flowers which are lemon 
yellow. It blooms earlier in + he season 
and is an excellent companion for it. 
Two years, each, 20c; doz., $2.00; 100, 
'12.00. Extra heavy, each, 25c; doz-, 
$2.50; 100, $15.00. 
PANICULATA. Japanese Virgin’s 
Bower. —The finest of all vines for airy 
grace and beauty. It quickly grows to 
a height of 15 to 20 feet and spreads 
out in all directions. In August and 
September, when most other vines havt 
ceased to bloom, it is completely cov¬ 
ered with a sheet of fleecy white, mad? 
up of numerous pure white, sta~-like flowers on long stems, and so fragrant that the air perfumed to a great 
distance. Its masses of delightful bloom remain until frost, and are succeeded by tufted seed pods. (See cut.) 
Two year roots, each, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00. Extra heavy roots, each, 20c; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00. 
PUERARIA THUNBERGIANA. 
Kudzu Vine. 
This Japanese vine is the most rapid growing plant 
known to horticulture. It has large leaves and produces 
a dense shade. When established it will make a growth 
of fifty feet in a season. Late in August it produces 
pretty rosy-purple pea-shaped flowers in small racemes. 
Strong roots, each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 
TECOMA (Bignonia). 
Trumpet Creeper. 
GRANDIFLORA.—A desirable vine with large orange-red 
flowers. Each, 35c; doz., $3.50. 
RAD1CANS.— A strong growing climber which is exceed¬ 
ingly ornamental at all times. It has abundar.i fern-lik** 
foliage and large trumpet-shaped flowers of vivid orange 
scarlet, in clusters during July and August. Of grotesque 
habit and especially useful for covering dead trees, fences, 
trellises, etc., its large clusters of brilliant bloom being 
very showy and producing a striking effect. 
Each, 20c; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00. 
WISTARIA (Glycine). 
SINENSIS. Chinese Blue Wistaria. — A flowering vine 
of extremely vigorous growth which attains a great height 
if given support. The flowers of soft, dainty lavender 
blue color are produced in pendulous racemes a foot or 
more long, in May, before the leaves expand. They are 
produced in great numbers. Strong, heavy roots, 2 to 3 
nc 1 ?5c; doz., $2.50.
