ORIENTAL POPPIES 
I remember very well the first, time I saw an Oriental Poppy. 1 
was a boy then, and it excited me wonderfully, and I thought it the 
most remarkable Mower in the world; and now, after twenty-five 
years have gone by and I have seen almost all the known Mowers of 
the world, I am still of the opinion that it is mighty fine, sti iking and 
effective, and I have taken the trouble to gather up and have grown 
a collection of several varieties. The foliage of Oriental Poppies 
dies away in the summer and many think they are dead, but they will 
start into growth again in the fall. They are rather hard to estab¬ 
lish, but, once established, prove the most persistent perennial.

CLEMATIS PANICULATA 
This handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and most 
satisfactory climbing Mowering plants we know. The plant is of 
strong, rapid growth, with small, dense, cheerful green foliage, 
giving it a grace and elegance possessed by no other hardy climber, 
and, even did it not Mower at all, it would be one of the most desir¬ 
able vines. The Mowers appear in the greatest profusion during 
August, and continue until late in the fall, are of white color and 
most deliciously fragrant. The plant succeeds in almost any posi¬ 
tion; not only is it well adapted to run up all kinds of supports, but 
it is just as useful for planting among rockwork, on sloping banks, 
or, in fact, in any position where a graceful vine is desired.

most interesting garden in Amer¬ 
ica, it is used in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion and in a great variety of 
positions, and everywhere it. is 
most charming. There are few 
more brilliant sights than masses 
of it in full beauty, and it is of 
easiest possible culture ; dwarf 
and compact, bearing in great pro¬ 
fusion Mowers with flue diversity 
of color. It likes a light, well
