LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS 
No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful 
large-flowering Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat 
different from most other plants, and proper condi- 
tions must be given to secure satisfactory results. 
They need rich, deep soil, perfect drainage, abun- 
dance of water, and, most important of all, 
inches beneath the surface of the soil. They 
seem to do best in a position where they will 
rot be exposed to the full sun during the hot- 
test part of the day. 
BGS We are careful to send out only perfectly healthy 
stock, and cannot entertain any compiuints on account 
of non-success with this class of plants.
