They thrive and flower everywhere, let it be in our crowded smoky cities, where light and sunshine is limited to a few hours daily, and where most of the hardy Shrubs refuse to take hold, or in situations more congenial. CLiEJViATIS. The Clematis, the Queen of the Climbers, is one of the best known and most recognized plants in cultivation. We import large quantities of Clematis every season, getting plants of extra size only, that will bloom with full vigor the first season. Plant any time from April to June. Height, 8 to 15 ft. Owing to the extraordinary size these plants can be sent by Express only, and prices do not include prepayment. JACKMANII. Flowers July to October. Un- doubtedly the most appreciated variety of Clem- atis. The dark purple flowers are produced in such an abundance as to perfectly hide the foli- age, and the whole plant, when in full bloom, looks like a mass of waving blue. Each, 75c; per doz., $7.50.
