Lonicera japonica Halliana 

Hop-Vine (Humulus japonicus) 
Michell’s Climbing Plants and Vines 
them too highly for general use. 
Clematis 
This family of climbing plants is probably 
more popular than any other. Some of the 
small-flowering varieties are exceedingly 
fragrant. The large-flowering types make a 
glorious effect on account of their gigantic 
blooms and striking appearance. AII Clematis 
delight in an abundance of sunlight, rich soil, 
and plenty of water in dry weather. Great 
care should be exercised in planting the large- 
flowering varieties, for during the process the 
stem is likely to get broken below the eye- 
shoots, which would render the plant useless. 
To guard against this, place a few stakes 
around the plant to protect it after planting. 
In the winter put a covering of straw, long 
manure, or Jeaves around the roots. 
OUTSTANDING VARIETIES 
Montana rubra. Identical in every way 
with C. montana undulata, except that it Is 
a pleasing shade of soft rosy red, a most 
desirable color. Strong plants, each 85c. 
Montana undulata. Anemone Clematis. 
A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type 
that succeeds under the most adverse con- 
ditions. The anemone or windflower-like 
white flowers, flushed mauve, are from 14% 
to 2 inches in diameter and frequently 
begin to open the last week in April, just 
when wisterias have finished flowering, 
continuing well throughout May. The 
best of the early spring-flowering climbers. 
Strong plants, each 85c. 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
Texensis. The curious little urn-shaped 
flowers of reddish rose are quite different 
from those of their large-flowered relatives 
but are equally as beautiful. Rambling 
Over a stone wall or fence they are es- 
pecially pleasing. Each 85c. 
Crispa. Sweet-scented, lavender flowers. 
Each 85c.

pink, lily-like flowers, trumpet-shaped at 
first, are produced in great quantities on

tember. A progeny of the beautiful Clem- 
atis texensis. Each $1.50.

acterize this late variety which blooms

tion.) Each $1.25.

wisteria-blue. A dainty six-petal variety
