CLEMATIS - Virgin's Bower 
Besides the large-flowered Clematis there are several varieties produc¬ 
ing smaller blooms or in large panicles. All are very desirable and most 
useful. Flammula and Montana are of strong growth, but their flowers 
are not fragrant like those of the Paniculata which really is one of the 
loveliest sweet-scented vines we have. 
Culture. All require a rich, light, weli drained soil and should be grown 
in full sun. A support should be provided for them to climb on, it is 
well to tie the vines in their early growth; trim and remove dead vines 
early in spring. Plant in fall or early spring. 
Coccinea texensis Each $0.60, Doz. $6.00 
Grows 10 to 12 feet. A very handsome, hardy climber, bearing small, 
thick, bell-shaped flowers, of bright coral-red, in wonderful profusion, 
from June till frost.

with small white edge. Profuse; blooming all summer.

thriving under most adverse conditions. Its clustered pink flowers expand

ing, flowering plants. Of strong, rapid growth, with small, dense, cheer¬ 
ful green foliage and pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers, in great¬ 
est profusion in August and September, 2-year plants.

almost any situation, sun or shade.

ENGLISH IVY - Hedera 
The famous English Ivy with its familiar evergreen, glossy foliage; 
requires winter protection in cold sections of the country where it is 
exposed to chilly winds on open walls. It can, however, be planted 
with perfect safety as a ground cover or as an edging to flower beds 
anywhere. Gracilis is perfectly hardy and we recommend both for use on 
the north side and west side of buildings and walls or in shady places, or 
as a ground cover under trees in dense shade.

(Hardy Baltica Ivy). Identical in habit with the English Ivy, but with 
foliage not as large and more cut; a most graceful vine; perfectly hardy 
and a splendid evergreen vine on walls with north or west exposures; 
also an excellent ground cover. Strong plants, about 30 inches high. 
Clematis (Large Flowering) 
Magnificent climber, covered with large blossoms in early summer. 
Grown on short sticks they are lovely subjects in the hardy border.
