It is a true perpetual bloomer, flowers appearing on the last year's growth and on the new shoots, giving an abundance of bloom all through the season. In size .the flower surpasses any of the old sorts^ often six to seven inches in diameter and of the most perfect shape. Color deep rich lav- ender. Distinct from any other sort and very attractive. Perfectly hardy and remarkably vigorous. AMERICAN VARIETIES. Coccinea—The Scarlet Clematis—This remarkably handsome climbing plant has proved to be one of the most desirable for any purpose where climbing i^lants are required. The plant is a herbaceous perennial, the stem dying to the surface each winter (this is an advantage where an unobstructed view is re- quired in winter). The vines attain the height of from 8 to 10 or 12 feet, beginning to flower in June and continuing until frost; single vines have from 20 to 30 flowers on each, and frequently as many as ten vines will start from one crown each season. The flowers are bell-shaped ; in color a rich, deep, coral scar- let, shining as if polished, and lasting a long time when cut. Indeed, one of the most beautiful plants for festooning is to be found in Clematis Coccinea,with its peculiar shaded green and elegantly cut and varied foliage. If it never flowered it would be a handsome climbing vine. Flammula—A rapid growing vine; flowers small, white and very fragrant: fine for cem- etery decorations. Virginica —(American White) —A very rapid growing and hardy plant; seeds fur- nished with long, plumose, downy tufts; flow- ers small, white. cocciXEA—THE scarlet cle
