CLEMATIS - Virgin’s Bower 
Besides the large-flowered Clematis there are several varieties producing 
smaller blooms or in large panicles. All are very desirable and most useful. 
Flammula and Montana are of strong growth, but their flowers are not 
fragrant like those of the Paniculata which really is one of the loveliest 
sweet scented vines we have. 
Culture. All require a rich, light, well drained soil and should be grown 
in full sun. A support should be provided for them to climb on, it is well 
to tie the vines in their early growth, trim and remove dead vines early in 
spring. Plant in fall or early spring.

Hydrangea Olah 
Climbing Hydrangea—The Choicest of All Vines 
This perhaps is the finest and choicest of all the vines offered in our 
catalog. It is not a rampant growing plant but when established makes 
good growth each year. It is woody but clings to brick or wooden walls 
without support, and also does fine on old trees or stumps. 
Its foliage is bold, clean and shrublike, and a rich dark green color. 
Short spur branches projecting from the wall are topped with white fragrant 
Hydrangea-like blooms throughout the summer. The effect createdis most 
artistic as well as amazing. : 
Last, but not least, it does equally well in shade or stin. ‘In fact, we 
recommend the Climbing Hydrangea for north, west walls or such places 
where shade is dense in summer. If you own one of these vines you will 
have something you will admire all your life. The height can be easily con- 
trolled from 10 to 20 feet as desired. 
Strong plants in 5-in pots which will establish and grow rapidly. 
Each $3.00
