Clematis Jouiniana, Spingarn Variety 
Tangutica obtusiuscula. Yellow bells on stately stems, or modest 
Chinese lanterns—describe them as you will, these flowers are 
golden yellow, dainty, and unusual. In late June come the first 
flowers, and the blooming carries through until September. Clam¬ 
bering over a rock, Tangutica obtusiuscula, the best of the yellow 
Clematis, seems to grow well. 
Texensis. Texas may well be proud of this species which has its natural 
habitat in that great state. Indeed, the curious urn-shaped flowers 
of reddish rose, softened on the inner side with buff and pinkish buff 
tones, make this plant, often listed Coccinea, unique. The long¬ 
haired seed-clusters are truly fascinating. Plant this species near a 
fence, or let it ramble over a stone wall, and it will soon take on a 
character all its own. It is well to know that this plant is her¬ 
baceous in our climate, and sends up entirely new growth each year. 
V irginiana. Commonly known as Virgin’s-Bower, this native species 
is a rampant grower and is often found along shady roadsides. It 
is ideal for the wild garden where naturalistic effects are desired. 
A profusion of white flowers in August and September, followed 
by curiously beautiful seed-pods, makes this species an interesting 
feature for big-scale planting.
