EG] TARDY CLIMBING PLANTS — HT 
LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS. 
The large-flowering varieties of Clematis, with their blue, 
white, lavender and purple flowers, should be grown more com- 
monly than they are at present. The reason for this is because 
we do not have anything in the line of flowering vines which can 
match them in the splendor of their flowers and their long 
lasting qualities. Their requirements are a trifle dif- 
ferent from most other plants, and that is the reason 
why some people fail with them. They need 
rich, deep soil, perfect drainage, abundance 
of water, and, most important of all, they 
should be planted with the crowns three 
inches beneath the surface of the soil. They 
seem to do best ina position where they will not 
be exposed to the full sun during the hottest part 
of the day. Given these conditions, they grow as lux- 
uriously as the Virginia Creeper. 
We have reduced our list this season to what we consider the 
six finest and most distinct sorts. 
We are careful to send out only perfectly healthy stock, 
and cannot entertain any complaints on account of non- 
success with this class of plants.
