CLEMATIS. 
These hardy and easily cultivated climbing plants should be found a place in every garden ; whether 
used for covering old walls, verandahs, rustic poles or pillars, or for bedding, ihey are unsurpassed. Nothing 
produces so grand and gorgeous an effect as a well-flowered bed of the beautiful varieties of Jackmann 
which produces their rich deep-coloured flowers in great profusion throughout the summer and autumn. 
The only secret of success in growing them is a good rich soil ; an annual mulching should be given 
of horse or cow manure, and during the growing season, a few liberal soakings of liquid manure.
