Clematis paniculata. 
Clematis paniculata 
This handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satis¬ 
factory climbing flowering 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 flower at all, it would be one of the most desirable vines. 
The flowers 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 position; not only is it 
well adapted to run up all kinds of supports, but it is just as use¬ 
ful for planting among rockwork, sloping banks, or, in fact, am 
position where a graceful vine is desired.

Prunus maritima 
This is the Beach Plum, which grows wild very plentifully in some 
localities on the seashore. It bears an edible fruit, which makes a 
very good jam, and I have seen it in fruit when only two feet high; 
but its chief value is its beautiful white flowers, with which it is 
literally covered early in the spring. I have secured a fine stock of 
nurserv grown plants. 25 cts. each. $2.50 per doz. 
Viburnum Opulus nanum 
A most interesting little snowball, never growing over two feet 
high, and as compact and globular in form as a sheared evergreen. 
Where a small shrub of formal shape is desired nothing can be 
better. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
Stuartia pentagyna 
This is not a novelty, but an extremely scarce, rare and beautiful 
shrub, belonging to the Camellia family and resembling a single 
Camellia in flower. Tbe flowers are creamy white with crimson-red 
stamens, about 3 inches across, and very lovely indeed. $1.50 each. 
Salix Salamoni 
This is a new variety of Weeping Willow, of remarkably rapid 
growth. A tree of it on my grounds, four years old, from a cutting, 
is 20 feet high. It is not as pendulous as the old Weeping Willow, 
hut is much handsomer. 50 cts. each. 
Japanese Wind-Flower 
(Anemone, Queen Charlotte) 
One of the finest of this class. The plant is of strong, vigorous 
growth, attains a height of 24 to 30 inches, and commences to flower 
early in August, continuing to bloom until November. The flowers, 
which are semi-double, frequently measure four inches across, and 
are of that pleasing silvery pink color of the La France rose, a color 
rarely found in hardy perennials. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Polygonum 
BALDSCHUANICUM. A hardy climber of recent introduction 
from the mountains of Turkestan; it is of rapid growth, frequently 
attaining a height of 10 to 12 feet in one season; the stems are twin¬ 
ing and cling for support to any object within reach. Every 
branchlet terminates in a panicle of white, foamy flowers, which are 
produced during August and September. Strong plants, $1 each. 
MULTIFLORUM. Another grand addition to our list of rapid¬ 
growing hardy climbers, attaining a height of 15 to 20 feet in a 
single season, and one which seems peculiarly adapted to our climatic 
conditions. It has bright green heart-shaped foliage, which does not 
appear to be attacked by any insect pest, and during September and 
October produces masses of delicate white flowers in trusses at the 
axils of every leaf. Erroneously this plant lias been distributed by 
some growers as P. Baldschuanicum, from which it is quite distinct. 
Good young plants, 25 cts. each.
