FINE HARDY ENGLISH AND OTHER CLEMATIS 



THE CLEMATIS Is undoubtedly the most beautiful of all hardy fl<jwering vines. The flowers are superbly beautiful, ot larg« 

 'ilze, measuring from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and are borne in gorgeous wreaths, forming an arraj- of beauty not seen in any 

 other climber. Give good, rich ground, and if damp and moist and partially shaded, so much the better. While perfectly 

 hardv in all localities, it Ls desirable to place a thick coat of 1' aves or litter over the roots as a protect ion during the Winter. They 

 require support, such as a rod. pole, trellis or wire that they can twine around.
