Sweet-Scented Japan Clematis. 



Hardy English or Large-Flowered Clematis 



NOTE. The Large-Flowered or Hardy English Clematis are considered the most beautiful of all 

 our Flowering Vines. The flowers are large, often measuring 4 to 6 inches across and are borne in great 

 wreaths and clusters during July and August ; the colors range from rich, royal purple to pearly-white. 

 The vines are of slender, wiry growth and require support that they can twine around, like a rod, pole 

 or wire, and if somewhat moist and partially shaded, so much the better ; the north side of the house or 

 porch is often the best place for them ; hardy, but a mulch of leaves or litter around roots, at least the 

 first season, will be an advantage.
