In recent years hybridists have produced new and outstanding varieties of Clematis, 
most noted change from the old types being the size of flowers and the complete 
selection in colors. Widely used as climbing plants for their beauty’s sake on porches, 
trellises, arbors, gateways and walls where their richly colored flowers, the pleasing 
foliage and the interesting seed pods make them valuable for landscape effect. 
Especially fine as cut flowers—they will last a week or more—and their natural artistic 
arrangement is most pleasing. The varieties listed herewith are considered the finest. 
ASCOTIENSIS. The tapering buds assume many inter- 
esting forms when unfolding their large, azure-blue 
petals, producing a starlike form, with a circle center 
of creamy stamens accentuating the distinctive outline 
of the flowers. Viticella Hybrid. It attains a height of 
8 to 10 feet and its flowering period extends from July 
to October. Extra selected plants, $1.25 each; $10.00 
for 10. 
COMTESSE DE BOUCHAUD. Gracefully curved petals 
ranging in tone from satiny rose to rich pink places 
this variety in a distinct category. Not only are the 
flowers the nearest approach to clear pink of all the 
hybrids, but the plant is a strong grower and a profuse 
bloomer from July to October. Jackmani Hybrid. 8 to 
10 feet high. Extra selected plants, $1.25 each; $10.00 
for 10. 
CRIMSON KING. The name suggests the color, a 
vinous red with brownish anthers. In size it is truly 
spectacular, for it often attains a diameter of 6 to 7 
inches. One of the best red-toned varieties to date. 
Lanuginosa Hybrid. 6 to 8 feet high, blooming from 
June to October. Extra selected plants, $1.50 each; 
$12.50 for 10. 
MRS. CHOLMONDELEY. Wistaria-blue. The rare del- 
icacy of color and large open flowers borne in pro- 
fusion are the desirable qualities of this fine variety. 
It is extraordinary to find such an unusual tone of blue 
in this group of plants. Jackmani Hybrid. June-October 
flowering. 10 to 15 feet high. Extra selected plants, 
$1.25 each; $10.00 for 10. 
DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH. Double, pure white—like 
a Gardenia—is the description for this most desirable 
plant. The white flowers make highlights in the shady 
garden and help to tone down the brilliant hues in the 
open border. Florida Hybrid. June-October flowering. 
6 to 8 feet high. Extra selected plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 
for 10. 
ELSA SPATH. Here is a variety that would be a feature 
in a blue garden with Lilium Regale planted in the fore- 
ground. It is true bright blue with a rich dark center 
which is accentuated by the crown of anthers. Lanugi- 
nosa Hybrid. June-October flowering. 8 feet high. Extra 
selected plants, $1.25 each; $10.00 for 10.

unexcelled for its large white blooms which many times 
measure 8 inches across. Its growth is vigorous and 
beautiful. Lanuginosa Hybrid. June-October flowering.

Clematis, with large, velvety violet-purple flowers. This 
variety has long held the popular acclaim which it so 
richly deserves. Makes rapid and vigorous growth and 
is a profuse bloomer. June-October flowering. 10 feet 
high. See illustration, page 35. Extra selected plants,

MME. BARON-VEILLARD. Where pastel tones are de- 
sired, the warm lilac-rose flowers of this French intro- 
duction will undoubtedly meet with approval. As the 
days become cooler in the fall, the color of the blooms 
becomes more intense and its growth is checked only 
by frost. Jackmani Hybrid. July-October flowering. 
10 to 12 feet high. See illustration, page 35. Extra 
selected plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. 
MME. EDOUARD ANDRE. This fine red has a purplish 
cast. The flowers are smaller than “Crimson King” but 
the petals are rounded and its vigorous growth is un- 
excelled. A cluster of these flowers suggests the richness 
and texture of an old Persian rug. Jackmani Hybrid. 
June-October flowering. 10 feet high. See illustration, 
page 35. Extra selected plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. 
PRINS HENDRIK. Azure-blue with ruffled petals, often 
7 inches or more in diameter. Indeed, the flowers sug- 
gest the beauty of rare Orchids. It is desirable for con- 
servatory treatment as well as for outdoor use, and in 
either case the flowers last well when cut. Lanuginosa 
Hybrid. June-September flowering. 10 to 12 feet high. 
Extra selected plants, $1.75 each; $15.00 for 10.
