C. hybrid*. THE LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS. We 

 offer a superb collection of named varieties embracing 

 only the showiest and most vigorous forms that are 

 well adapted for training against pillars or trellis work. 

 The magnificent large flowers are freely produced in 

 summer, and are justly prized on account of their 

 beauty and splendor. In view of many failures in grow- 

 ing this type of Clematis, we add special cultural di- 

 rections. A good depth of rich, loamy soil should be 

 provided, into which a moderate amount of well-rotted 

 manure has been incorporated. The plants are very 

 susceptible to injury by drought, and it is essential to 

 secure moist, yet porous and well-drained situations.
