104 THE GAEDENEE'S COMPANION 



Clematis C. montana, has lovely wreaths of 

 medium-sized white flowers in June; one of our 

 best and most rampant-growing climbing plants. 



(7. flammula, and, a little later, C. paniculata, 

 are both charming autumn-flowering varieties, with 

 masses of tiny white flowers with very sweet scent. 



C. JacJcmani has large purple flowers in 

 summer. There are numberless other beautiful 

 large-flowered varieties, in every shade of colour, 

 details of which you will find in any nurseryman's 

 catalogue. All Clematis require chalk in the soil. 



Vines Vitis. All the vines are very beautiful 

 as climbers ; but they are, I think, more suitable 

 for pergolas and arches than for walls. The purple 

 Vine, V. purpurea, is lovely, but very slow growing ; 

 F. Cognetice is somewhat massive and heavy, but 

 F. Thomsoni is extremely light and pretty. 



Roses I have left it to the last to mention 

 Eoses, for they are to be had in such endless 

 beauty and variety that it is hard to choose, and 

 harder still to advise; but Aimte Vibert, with its 

 evergreen foliage and large clusters of double 

 white Eoses, and pink buds, is delightful on the 

 walls of your house, with its pretty flowers peeping 

 in at your window.
