THE DICTIONARY OF GARDENING, 
Clematis—continued. 
Clematises may be easily increased, if required, by seed. 
The seed vessels should be gathered towards the autumn, 
and stored in some dry, cool place till the following spring, 
when the seed they contain may be sown in light sandy 
soil, and stood in gentle heat till they germinate. If 
then nursed on for a time under glass, and afterwards 
planted in deep rich loam, the plants will soon flower. 
The varieties being now so numerous, and brought to 
such perfection by systematie crossing, it is hardly to 
be expected that many improved forms are to be obtained 
by ordinary cultivators, by merely raising them from seed. 
For greenhouse or conservatory decoration, the tenderer 
sorts are extremely useful A house having a tempera- 
ture of 40deg. to 50deg. is the best; and, whether grown 
in pots or trained on the roof or back wall, the plants prove 
equally ornamental. With the general exception of a few 
degrees of higher temperature, the culture of the green- 
house species does not materially differ from that of the 
hardy sorts.
