Fine Hardv English and other Clematis. 



THE CLEMATIS is undoubtedly the most beautiful of all hardy flowering vines. The flowers are superbly beautiful, of 

 large size, measuring from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and are borne in gorgeous wreaths, forming an array 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 hardy in all localities, it is desirable to place a thick coat of leaves or litter over the roots as a protection 

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