CLEMATIS 
These vines flower profusely and are the most showy and effective of the hardy climbers. 
All the kinds we offer are entirely hardy, most of them lavish bloomers. The majority of them 
will blossom the first season after planting. We deliver the root only. A rich soil of a light, loamy 
character is the best for Clematis and a little mi.\ture of lime will make it better. Mulching with 
half-rotted manure at the approach of winter tends to increase the strength of the plants and 
size of the flowers.
