The varieties of Clematis have now become so numerous, 

 that we have made a selection of [those which, from personal know- 

 le dge, we believe to be the most desirable for general cultivation. 

 The modern varieties have been wonderfully improved not only as 

 regards the size and colours of their flowers, but also in their habit 

 and continuity of blooming, so that they are really unrivalled amongst 

 hardy flowering woody climbers. The summer and autumn-bloomers 

 have an exceedingly good effect when planted to grow over masses 

 of rootwork, but the earlier sorts are better adapted for walls or cor- 

 ridors. 



The spring-blooming sorts should have the wood of the previous 

 year's growth trained in for flowering ; but in the case of the summer 

 and autumn-blooming varieties, those of the Lanuginosa type are the 

 better for moderate annual pruning, while those of the Jackmanni 

 type require to be cut back still more closely. All these latter being 

 successional bloomers, require to be liberally manured. 



18^ The three best Clematis yet in commerce are Rubella, Jackmannii, 



and Lanuginosa. 



We can also supply any varieties in the trade not enumerated 

 above, at the current prices.
