CLEMATIS 
Do not think of them as vines, that is, as vines alone, 
for many will give greatest delight when allowed to tumble 
down a rocky bank in a flower-fall. Others are not even 
trailers, but sturdily upright, to be grown in the large rock 
garden or mixed perennial border, along with other erect 
herbaceous perennials. 
61 CLEMATIS ALPINA—ltyt 6 ft. Blossoms of exquisite 
beauty, waxy, glistening blue, or rarely white. Flowers give 
bell-like effect, although not truly bell-shaped. Blooms in 
ae and prefers a cool position, or a bit of light shade. 
t. 15c. 
61 CLEMATIS COLUMBIANA—rltstyt(2) 8 ft. A highly 
attractive and showy vine of full hardiness. Spreading 
blossom bells, large and loose, of soft blue-lavender. Thor- 
ough recommendation. Pkt. 15c; 1/1g oz. 80c; 1% oz. 50c. 
61 CLEMATIS CRISPA—aty 6 ft. All summer long there 
are blossoms like giant Hyacinth bells, crisp petalled, bright 
blue with deeper shadings. Though it makes its greatest 
showing of bloom in late spring, it might be called ever- 
blooming, for it is never without flowers until latest autumn. 
It is an herbaceous vine, making light graceful growth, and 
will do effectively on trellis or fence, or it is surprisingly 
good in the large rock garden, given freedom of it to trail 
as it will. Illustrated page 14. Pkt. 15c; 1% oz. 40c. (Plants 
each 50c.) 
21 CLEMATIS DAVIDIANA—ecbkt(3-4)48. Dense axillary 
clusters of hyacinth-like deep blue flowers. Fragrant. For 
the perennial herbaceous border, being no vine, but a ro- 
bust and showy self-stander. Botanically it is a variety of 
C. heracleaefolia. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c.) 
61 CLEMATIS GIANT HYBRIDS—clty(8) 8 ft. Splendid 
large and widely opened flowers in white, and in shades 
of rose, lilac, purple and crimson. We include the Jack- 
manni types here. Pkt. 15c. 
21 CLEMATIS INTEGRIFOLIA—rbyt(8)20. Flaring bells 
of rich blue violet. It fits the rock garden. Pkt. 15c. 
61 CLEMATIS MONTANA RUBENS—ekt(2) 8 ft. Splendid 
wide-open blossoms of rose pink. At Old Orchard we have 
had vines filled with bloom within thirteen months. after 
the seeds were sown. Hardy. Permanent. Pkt. 15c. 
21 CLEMATIS OCHROLEUCA—rstyt(2-4)20. Good peren- 
nial for rock garden or border. Urn shaped flowers, buff, 
with shadings of green and violet. The seed plumes in 
great whorled fluffy globes of buff-chestnut, are ornamental 
for months. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 25c. 
61 CLEMATIS PANICULATA—stoyt(4)15 ft. Clouds of 
creamy, perfumed flowers. Pkt. 10c; 44 oz. 20c. 
21 CLEMATIS RECTA—ecrboyt(2-3)36. Great sprays of 
cream-white flowers, long carried, sweetly fragrant. It 
grows erect, an herbaceous perennial for the mixed border. 
It is a splendid species. Pkt. 15c; 1/1g oz. 25c; 14 oz. 40c. 
61 CLEMATIS SERRATIFOLIA—‘*erkt(3-4)60. This is a 
delightful species of easiest culture, a low, airy, herbaceous 
vine, but perhaps best when allowed to trail without support. 
It makes an excellent ground cover, a bulb cover, or a bank 
or terrace curtain, and it will fit the rock garden. Sown 
in very early spring, it will even flower well first year. The 
blossoms are little loose bells of soft yellow, and they are 
followed, as so often in Clematis, by decorative, fluffy seed- 
plumes. Pkt. 15c; 1/ig oz. 25c. 
21 CLEMATIS STANS—ecbkt(5)50. Consider and use it as 
an erect growing herbaceous perennial for the hardy mixed 
border. Enormous panicles of charming urn-shaped blos- 
soms in sky blue or waxen white. Handsome, too, when 
loaded with its feathery seed-plumes. Will often flower 
within a year from seed. Pkt. lic; % oz. 85c; 14 oz. 60c. 
(Plants, each 35c; 3 for $1.00.) 
61 CLEMATIS TANGUTICA—cltyt(2-3)10 feet. Richest, 
deepest yellow are the big blossoms, these tending toward 
bell shape. A tall and rapid hardy ornamental vine. Best 
yellow-flowered Clematic for trellis training (as Clematis 
serratifolia is best for rock gardens, bank or ground cover). 
Usually blooms within a year from seed. Pkt. 15c; 1/1¢ oz. 
25c; % oz. 40c; % oz. 65c. (Plants, each 40c.) 
61 CLEMATIS TEXENSIS—cltyt(8) 8 ft. The flowers are 
like painted urns of brilliant, gleaming red. Within, the 
blossoms are pink and buff. No Clematis is more colorfully 
far-visible. Hardy. Pkt. 15c; 1/16 oz. 40c.

Spring gardens, vibrant as warm showers fall. 
Hidden Lilacs that the breeze betrays. 
Deep June meadows, rich with Buttercup. 
Soft mists that silver the morning east. 
Violet arrows of sunset cloud, edged with glory. 
Goldenrod that sweeps forgotten fields. 
Startle of Gentian in sway of wisp-brown grass. 
Dark Pines, flare-set with radiant autumn Oak. 
Wild-goose wedges cleaving keen moon-flooded skies. 
All these we have, if ever we had them. Though wars 
flash and flame, though nations melt, this of life is 
still good.

most showy of the tender Clerodendrons. Erect panicles of.

fornia, and in Florida, it may be handled as an outdoor 
shrub. Pkt. 20c.

21 CODONOPSIS BLEND—‘*rstx(2-3)10. Delightful half- 
tuberous trailers, cousins of Campanula. The flowers are 
rather large nodding bells that may be pure white, tawny, 
or bright blue. The white or light bells are usually veined 
with peacock blue, and zoned or blotched with purple, black 
or buff within. In exposed northern locations Codonopsis 
may need some protection, but it is safely winter-hardy 
outside at Philadelphia. Also makes an attractive pot plant.

folia and thalictrifolia available separately at same rate.) ©

occasion. Pkt. 20c. yen 
21 COGSWELLIA UTRICULATA — kt(2)10. Finely cut | 
leaves; umbels of little yellow blossoms. This is the 
“kouse’’ of the west-coast Indians, the “‘racine blanch” of 
the French fur traders, the ‘“‘biscuit-root’? of the early — 
American settlers. As these names might indicate, the plant 
has been an important food source. The Indians pounded the 
roots to pulp, formed the mass into flat cakes, and then 
sun-dried the cakes, but the roots are also said to be good 
when peeled and fried in butter. Seeds offered were col- — 
lected for us from the wild. We believe they are true as 
offered, but under the circumstances do not guarantee this. 
Check up on the identity of your plants before using them 
for food. Pkt. 25c. '

lovely wild-flower of earliest spring, blossoms bright blue

very early spring, or in Jate fall. Pkt, lb5c. a.
