This important new Clematis, which is hardy anywhere, was originated 
by the late J. E. Spingarn, who thought enough ol the variety to attach 
his own name to it. 
Like the popular Virgins-Bower (Clematis paniculata ), this variety 
is at home in full sun although some shade is harmless. It is a vigorous 
grower, putting up several strong canes from the base which make it an 
ideal plant for spreading out over a trellis, wall, fence, or arbor. The large 
foliage is clean and decidedly ornamental, and from the axils of each leaf- 
stem, a flower-stem develops, so that the plant is covered from top to 
bottom with masses of spicily fragrant flowers from late August through 
September. 
The flowers are small, reflexing bells of pale violet-blue and are produced 
in panicles made up of 3 to 6 clusters of from one to two dozen bells each. 
So different, so desirable, and so easy to grow, this new Clematis 
should be as widely planted as the popular Japanese Paniculata whose 
fragrant white flowers are now seen almost everywhere during early 
fall, and the fact that this new variety is hardy anywhere increases 
its value. 
Clematis Jouiniana , Spingarn, is offered to the public this spring 
for the first time, and while we have a goodly number of fine plants there 
are not as many of them as the importance of the variety warrants. We 
therefore suggest early ordering so that your plants will be reserved for 
shipment at the proper time.
