CLEMATIS - Large Flowering 
No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful large- 
flowering Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat different from 
most other plants, and proper conditions must be given to secure satis¬ 
factory results. 
Culture. The need a rich, deep, well drained soil; in fact, drainage 
should be perfect and the soil should be prepared at least 2 feet deep, 
using plenty of sharp sand and well rotted manure. The roots must be 
sent straight down, the whole plant must be deeply set, the crown, 
should be not less than 3 inches beneath the surface of the soil. Pro¬

are not fragrant like those of the Paniculata which really is one of the 
loveliest sweet-scented vines we have. 
Culture. All require a rich, light, well drained soil and should be grown 
in full sun. A support should be provided for them to climb on, it is

foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking
