CLEMATIS 
These vines flower profusely and are the most showy and efi'cctivc of the hardy ch'mbcrs. All the 
kinds we offer are entirely hardy, most of them lavish bloomers. The majority of them will blossom 
the first season after planting. Wc deliver the root only. A rich soil of a light, loamy character is 
the best for Clematis and a little mixture 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.
