CLEMATIS RUBELLA AND CLEMATIS LANU¬ 
GINOSA CANDIDA. 
The magnificent new varieties of Clematis raised by Mr. 
Jackman, of Woking, named C. JacJcmanii and rubro-violacea , 
have already appeared in the 4 Floral Magazine, 5 and have ob¬ 
tained a world-wide reputation; it is therefore with great plea¬ 
sure that we now figure C. rubella , and are enabled to add some 
notes kindly supplied to us by Mr. George Jackman, Jun.:—- 
“ As there are several varieties and species of Clematis in 
cultivation, and some of quite a new type in growth and flower¬ 
ing, it will be seen at once that by a judicious selection of 
kinds we can have our walls, trelliswork, and porticos, etc., 
covered, from May to October, with Clematises with large and 
spreading or pendulous and bell-shaped, and some double 
flowers, and others scented, differing in colour from white to 
rich velvety maroon and violet, blue, etc. etc. The treatment is 
simple, and from our own experience successful. When we put 
our specimen Clematises out, we plant them permanently out of 
pots in the open ground: in pots they will flower freely, but 
will not produce flowers in equal number or of so fine a qua- 
lity, because the Clematis having a fleshy root, it cannot take 
up sufficient moisture to develop its flowers so finely as in the 
open ground. The soil they luxuriate mostly in is one com¬ 
posed of rich manured loam, and when possible fine calcareous 
sand; they should be pruned back in the spring about Febru¬ 
ary, leaving a quantity of good breaking buds; but there is 
this difference:—some kinds will only flower on the old, well- 
ripened wood of last year’s growth, therefore discretion must 
be used. C. Standishii , Fortunei, and all the varieties of azureci
