the Boltonia latisquama and Chrysanthemum Zawadski. Perfectly hardy, 
growing about 2'/2 feet high. The flowers are graceful and large, white 
with generous pink shading. Good for the border and cutting. Splen¬ 
didly adapted for those localities where 'Mums freeze out or are unsat¬ 
isfactory. Same cultural requirements as the Chrysanthemum Maximum. 
CIMICIFUGA - Snakeroot

and small flowers borne in feathery racemes.

September and attaining full perfection about the middle of October. 
Its flowering stems are from 2'/2 to 3 feet high, terminated with a dense 
spike of white flowers, which, when cut, last in perfection a long time. 
CLEMATIS, Dwarf - Shrubby Clematis

effective display when in flower. 
Culture. They prefer a chalky, well-drained loam. Where this is not 
available, mix plenty of lime with the soil. Plant in autumn or spring.

of well-decayed manure.
