LARGE-FLOIVERING CLEMATIS 



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 dur- 

 ing the hottest part of the day.
