CLE 



Clematis, Linn. From Jclema, a vine branch ; 

 because most of the species climb like the vine. 

 Linn. 13, Or. 6, Nat. Or. JRanunculacece. A 

 numerous anil highly ornamental genus of, for 

 the most part, climbing plants. The green- 

 house species are very desirable where climbers 

 are wanted : they grow well in any light soil, 

 or loam and peat ; cuttings root freely under 

 a glass. The same treatment is required for 

 the stove kinds. The hardy kinds grow in 

 any common garden soil, and are well adapted 

 for trellis-work, or for training against a wall. 

 They are readily increased by laying the young 

 shoots in July or October. The herbaceous 

 kinds are increased by dividing the plants at 

 the root early in spring. Synonym.es: 1, G.

 Cle6mb, Linn. From kleio, to shut ; alluding

 Cappariddcew. The species of this genus are 

 very pretty, and free-flowering ; the stove 

 kinds require a rich light soil, and cuttings 

 root freely under a glass. Some of the annual 

 species require sowing in a hotbed frame, or in 

 a hothouse, and when potted off, to be placed 

 among the tender annuals. The hardier kinds 

 may be sown on a hotbed, and when of suffi- 

 cient size, planted out in sheltered situations 

 in the flower-borders. Synonymes: 1, O. orni-
