FINE HARDY ENGLISH AND OTHER CLEMATIS 



THE CLEMATIS is iindouhterlly the most beautiful of all hardy flowpring vines. The Howers are sujierblv bea-uifiil of large 

 size, measuriog from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and are borne in gorgeous wreaths, forming an array of beauty not seen in anv 

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

 hardy m all localities;, it is desirable to place a thick coat of leaves or litter over the roots as a protecttion during the Winter. They 

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