CLEMATIS. 



A. Veitcliii. Japan Creepeu. Leaves smaller than those of the American, 

 and overlap one another, forming a dense sheet of green. The plant is a little 

 tender while young, and requires protection the first winter; but once established, 

 there is no further risk. It grows rapidly and clings to wall or fence with the 

 tenacity of Ivy; the foliage is very handsome in summer, and changes to crimson 

 scarlet in autumn. For covering walls, stumps of trees, rockeries etc., no plant is 

 so useful. For the ornamentation of brick and stone structures, it can be specially 

 recommended.
