n8 POPULAR GARDEN FLOWERS 



need no pruning beyond thinning. There is Lady Bovill, 

 light blue, of the Viticella type, which does best when cut 

 back hard every autumn. And there is Madame Edouard 

 Andre", red, of the Jackmanii class, which, as already 

 mentioned, should be pruned back to the old wood in 

 spring. 



We see that there is great variety of habit and colour 

 in the Clematises, and although this may, at the outset, 

 tend to cause the amateur a little perturbation, he soon 

 gets over it, and finds a deeper interest in the flowers 

 from the demands that. they make on his knowledge and 

 skill.
