“ Ostrich Plume” Chrysanthemums.

T«e FLEECY-WHITE FRAGRANT CLEMATIS 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 
This grand climbing vine, one of the most valuable ever 
sent to us from Japan—the source of so many floral wonders— 
is well worthy of a place on pretentious dwelling or humble cot¬ 
tage. No written description, no picture in the limited space of 
a catalogue, can do justice to it. To see it in the early fall, cov¬ 
ering a porch, a trellis, an arbor, a fence, a boundary wall, a slope, 
or any other object where it is planted, with a mass of fleecy 
whiteness, exhaling its delicious, Iiawthorn-like fragrance, 
is to admire and want it. Even when the mass of starry flowers 
is gone, when the fleecy mantle of white has vanished for another 
year, there is another phase of its beauty evident. Then is seen 
the thousands of silvery, raw-silk-like, feathery seed vessels 
hanging in graceful festoons and glistening in the sunlight. Its 
beauty is not alone in its bloom and seed time; its refreshingly 
f reen foliage, its graceful habit, lend it a beauty unmatched. 
t will grow fifteen to twenty feet in a season, it is insect-proof, 
it is perfectly hardy, it adapts itself to all situations, thrives 
everywhere, and need only be seen to be admired. Price, 
strong plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.
