LARGE FLOWERED CLEMATIS. The Clematis, always a great favorite, because of its usefulness for purposes where vines are required, as well as for the beauty of its flowers, has gained even a firmer foothold than before, within a few years past, and chiefly because of the great strides made in the production of kinds with large and handsome flowers. It is a good many years ago since the magnificent Jackmanni was in- troduced, and, though unequaled yet in its general use- fulness and large purple flowers, there are other kinds of different colors which command universal ad miration. And it must not be forgotten that these large flowered ones do not end their dis- play with the one course of flowers, but have occasional blossoms at intervals throughout the season. Prices, extra large, two and three year old, 50 cents each, or $4.00 per 10. Azurea grandiflora, niac. Bangholme Belle, a new variety, pure white, extra large flowers. Duchess Of Edinburg, white, semi-double. Cypsy Queen, rich, dark, velvety purple. Jackmanni, violet purple. Lanuginosa Belisaire, lavender. Star of India, reddish plum, red bars. CLEMATIS.

The feathery, white, sweet scented flowers of this vine make it much called for. It blooms early in July. 1 to 2 ft. From pots $ 50 each AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. This is a remarkably neat, close-growing vine, clinging to walls very tightly. It is ex- cellent for walls of all kinds. Clematis paniCUlata. A uew introduction from Japan, and one of great merit. It is a strong, rapid and vigorous grower, and in late summer it produces sheets of medium sized, pure white flowers of the most pleasing fragrance. It is perfectly hardy and finely adapted for covering trellises or fences. The flowers expand towards the close of August. (See cut, page 71.)
