The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners. 
CLEMATISES. 
These magnificent hardy climbers are highly popular amongst amateur growers, and, considering their great beauty, freedom 
of blooming, and the facility with which they may be trained on any kind of wall, trellis, verandah, or pillar, and in almost 
any aspect, it is surprising that Clematises are not found in abundance in every garden. The plants we offer are established in 
pots, and can be removed at any time of the year. The sorts blooming after June are the best for bedding purposes ; they 
flower on the young wood, and therefore require, before growth commences in Spring, to be cut down to within six or twelve 
inches of the ground, as likewise do all the late-flowering kinds ; and early sorts, flowering from May to July on the old wood, 
should be pruned similarly to Roses. When the selection of sorts is left to ourselves customers may rely on our sending a 
really good variety. 
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.
