Awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society, August 4th, 1863. 
GEO. JACKMAN & SON, 
WOKING NURSERY, SURREY, 
Have much pleasure in offering to the Public for the first time 
their beautiful, rich-coloured, free-flowering, vigorous-growing Cle¬ 
matises, that they can with confidence recommend, being convinced 
when known they will occupy a very high position in climbing shrubs. 
Orders will now be taken, and the plants sent out strictly in rotation in 
October, 
The following is the Report of the Floral Committee :— 
“ Clematis Jackmanni. —This was one of a batch of seedlings raised by Messrs. Jackman 
the result of a cross between C. lanuginosa and C. Hendersoni and atro-rubens, the first being 
the female parent. They were lovely hardy climbers with large flowers, which in the present 
variety were of a deep bright violet, and consisted of a variable number of from four to six 
sepals. It was considered quite an acquisition. The plants flower from July onwards to the 
autumn. 
“ Clematis rurro-violacea. —This was from the same batch of seedlings as the fore" 
going, and differed chiefly in its intense maroon-shaded reddish violet flowers, which were 
remarkable for the rich velvety appearance of the surface.” 
The following is an extract from the “ Gardeners’ Chronicle,” 
November 21st, 1863 :— 
“ The recollection of some hardy hybrid forms of Clematis shown at South Kensington 
during the past summer, has served us as a reminder that amongst hardy climbers the Clematis 
already occupies a very high position. Cut flowers of two of them exhibited on the occasion 
referred to (August 4th, 1863), obtained each an unanimous award of a First-class Certifi¬ 
cate ; and well they deserved it, for certainly nothing in their way could be more beautiful, 
the lustrous richness of their colours very much enhancing their beauty.” 
For further particulars of “ their sterling merits ” read The 
Florist and Pomologist Magazine, September Number, 1864, giving 
the description and a coloured drawing of C. Jackmanni; Gardeners’ 
Chronicle , January 9th, 1864; the Journal of Horticulture, August 11th, 
1863.
