T HIS New Hardy Clematis is a remarkably hand¬ 
some climbing plant. It is one of the most hardy, 
SHOWY, FRAGRANT atld SATISFACTORY CLIMBERS ever 
placed in our list. The wonderful floriferousness of 
this variety is unparalleled, for, when the plant is in 
bloom the greater part of the foliage is entirely hidden 
from view. 
The flowers are pure white, star-shaped, about one 
inch in diameter, are borne in large clusters, on 
stiff stems from four to six inches long-, that rise 
from the axils of the leaves; they will last several 
days as cut flowers, retaining their freshness, and 
their fragrance is very agreeable. The 
plant is a strong, quick grower, with 
broad healthy foliage which is seldom 
or never attacked by insects. For any 
position where a rapid growing climber 
is desired, we highly recommend this 
Clematis. (See colored plate.) 
Strong blooming plants, each, 50 cents, or 
two for 80 cents.

MORNING 
GLORY. 
In this Brazilian Morning Glory 
(Ipomgea Set os a), we have a most 
meritorious novelty in climbers, which 
merits the immediate attention of people 
everywhere, North, South, East or West. 
It is one of the grandest and most luxu¬ 
riant plants ever grown, very showy and 
graceful. 
With rose-colored flowers from 3 to 4 
inches across and a huge leaf 8 to 12 
inches across, the effect is simply en¬ 
chanting and tropical in the extreme. Growing in its native climate it frequently exceeds the above gigantic proportions* 
and it is used to furnish screen and shade from the heat of the tropical sun. 
It has become fully acclimated in this country and grows here with a luxuriance and freedom which is simply sur¬ 
prising. Its habit is different from our common Morning Glory, in that branches in every direction and intertwines in 
such a manner as to make it absolutely impenetrable by the sun’s rays. The immense leaves are borne the full length 
of the vine, from the ground to the tip. 
Careful tests of this excellent flower, show that from seeds planted the middle of May, the huge trellis was completely 
covered to a height of 12 feet by the first of August, while by the middle of the month, the vines averaged 35 feet in 
height. The density of the shade was remarkable, owing to the cross branching and intertwining, as the leaves overlap 
each other like shingles on a roof. Large seed pods, or curious looking capsules, with the short reddish hairs on the 
stems, make it unusually ornamental and attractive. It will cover an arbor, piazza, or tree quicker than any other 
climber we know of. We can conscientiously recommend it to all.— Price , 20 cents per packet.
