CLEMATIS

disease, is dplightfully fragrant, and so floriferous that 

 the blossoms form a dense sheet of bloom, remaining in 

 full beauty for several weeks. The foliage is very thick 

 anil heavy, thus making it very desirable for covering

Is, wh 



Crispa (blue) and Coceinea (red) are varieties with 

 very pretty, bell-shaped flowers. They are easily grown 

 and do well in almost all situations. 



The perennial, non-climbing varieties of Clematis are 

 most pleasing border plants, succeeding well in all ordi- 

 nary soils and making a rich show of bloom at their 

 flowering season. Davidiana (blue) and Recta (white) 

 are about the best known and most desirable varieties 

 of this class. 



To grow Clematis most successfully, they should be 

 given a good depth of loamy soil, with a fair supply of 

 well rotted manure spaded in and thoroughly distrib- 

 uted through the soil. In hot, dry weather, the plants 

 sTiould be regularly watered in order to obtain the 

 greatest number of "fls. possible, for the plants are very 

 susceptible to injury by drought. A point of great im- 

 portance, especially iu caring for newly set 

 plants, is to provide a firm s\ii.ii.irt f 

 climb upon. A solid woodou i.r no t 

 preferable, for the reason tli:it it in- 

 plants from being whipped al.oiit liy 

 often results either in breaking the st;i 

 ground or else in cracking the outer bark of the stalk 

 and rendering them more liable to the attacks of 

 sects and fungous diseases. Training the Vines upon 

 strings, or a pliable support of any kind, is not to be 

 advised for this reason. Propagation of the hybrid 

 varieties is effected both by cuttings and by grafts. 

 All of the type varieties grow readily from seed.
