| Lage Flowered Clematis 
(We do not ship Clematis into California, Washington or Oregon.) 
Only in recent years have American gardeners been able to enjoy the rare beauty of the many 
Clematis hybrids. These European garden treasures are notable for their spectacular flowers. Out- 
standing in color and in form, they lend dignity and charm to any garden. Grown on trellises, 
arbors, pergolas, old tree stumps, and walls, these climbing plants often flaunt their beauty in high 
places where they may be enjoyed from many parts of the garden. 
Both the large- and the small-flowered varieties are well worth growing. While the large-flowered 
forms provide great richness of color, the small-flowered kinds impress us with their curiously 
formed flowers. 
From a decorative standpoint these Clematis hybrids are most useful. They last well when cut 
and lend themselves to many unique arrangements. 
Culture. They need a rich, deep, well drained soil; in fact, drainage 
should be perfect and the soil should be prepared at least 2 feet deep, 
using plenty of sharp sand and well-rotted manure. The roots must be 
sent straight down, the whole plant must be deeply set, the crown should 
be not less than 3 inches beneath the surface of the soil. Provide support 
and protect the runners produced the first year from frost with straw or 
small piece of burlap. No protection required after first winter.

CLEMATIS, MRS. ROBERT BRYDON 
By crossing the lovely sweet scented, deep blue, bushy or dwarf 
Clematis Davidiana with a very stong and robust growing native Amer- 
ican veer ye we obtained a beautiful climber, which grows about 8 to 
10 feet high. The top of this vine is covered with billowy masses of pale 
watery blue flowers at their best in August and September. It is perfect 
for covering fences, trellises and pergolas. Being absolutely hardy, it 
can be used anywhere. Is entirely free from insect pests, is always neat 
because the past season’s growth should be partly removed each fall, 
leaving about 3 feet, not more. Easy to grow. Ordinary garden soil 
will do. Sold out for this season 
Cuonymus (Cvergreen Bittersweet ) 
The Most Versatile, Hardy, Easily Grown Evergreen Vine and Shrub. 
The Plant of 1000 Uses. 
The Euonymus are particularly desirable for their dense, evergreen 
foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking 
the place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the Box- 
wood as an edging plant, while Acuta is a splendid ground cover, and 
one of the best creepers for rockeries is Kewensis. All do well in sun 
or shade. 
Radicans, Wayside Gardens Compact Form 
An excellent evergreen, fine in either shade or sun. Its habit is a bushy 
growth. Foliage a dark shiny green and rather small. This vine may also 
be trimmed into a small evergreen hedge for formal beds or walk.

Radicans vegetus 
(Evergreen Bittersweet.) A strong growing variety, with larger leaves 
than the type, and producing bright orange-red berries, which remain 
on the plant the greater part of the winter. As an evergreen, absolutely 
hardy wall cover, this plant is unequaled. Beautiful on big old trees or 
shady walks. Will grow 25 to 30 feet high.

(Miniature Evergreen Bittersweet.) A variety with very small, dark 
green foliage. Everyone who has seen this appreciates its value as a 
rock plant. It grows close to the ground, and is a most valuable plant 
for a shady place in the garden where a delicate evergreen is needed. 
Fine ground cover under small trees,

CELASTRUS - Bittersweet or Wax Work 
One of our native climbing plants, of rapid growth, succeeding in almost 
any situation, sun or shade. Discontinued in favor of: 
Loeseneri (Chinese Bittersweet) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Most prolific fruiting variety known. This new importation is a rare 
species from Central and Western China. The clean leaves are glaucous 
green and somewhat larger than those of the common Bittersweet. 
It is the most prolific fruiting kind we know. In autumn, yellow and 
orange-scarlet berries cover the vine all over instead of in occasional 
small clusters as in the common Bittersweet. It’s a sure fruiter, but 
we recommend you plant two plants in one hole and take advantage 
of the resulting cross pollination, which gives still more fruit.
