IrARGE-FI^O^VERING 



HARDY CI.EMATIS 



No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful 

 large-flowering Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat 

 different from most other plants and proper conditions must be 

 given to secure satisfactory results. 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 in a position 

 where they will not be exposed to the full sun during the hot- 

 test part of the day.

 ceeds in almost any position. Not only is it adapted to run up all 

 kinds of supports, but is just as useful for planting among rock-work, 

 sloping banks, covering graves, or, in fact, any position where a grace-
