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 Boses. When the selection of sorts is left to ourselves, customers may rely on our 
sending a really good variety.
