CLIBRANS’ CLEMATIS. 
The Clematis, with its brilliant colours, freedom of bloom and hardiness, is probably the 
most popular of all climbing plants. A richly manured soil is indispensable if the best result 
is aimed at. Manure ought to be well mixed with the soil when planting, and used annually 
as a mulch for winter protection, forking it in very lightly in the spring. The addition of 
chalk or lime to the soil when planting is also beneficial. 
TIME OF FLOWERING.— The Jackmanni and lanuginosa sections bloom from July 
to October ; viticella and ccerulea odorata from July to September ; patens and Montana 
in May and June ; Florida in June and July ; Clematis indivisa and indivisa lobata are 
tender kinds, and flower indoors from February to May. 
PRUNING. — The Jackmanni, lanuginosa, viticella, and Ccerulea sections should be 
pruned in early winter, after the flowering season, cutting the shoots back well into the old 
wood, as they bloom on the current year's growth ; Florida, patens, and Montana sections 
should only have the weak and unnecessary shoots cut out, as they bloom on the previous 
year’s ripened wood.
