More Outstanding 
Hybrids 
Since the publication of our 
catalogue in 1937, the Clematis 
has risen in popularity to such a 
degree that we thought it worth 
while to present nine new por¬ 
traits in full color. These hybrids, 
selected for their color-range and 
form, are true aristocrats of the 
garden. As they become better 
known, they will inevitably re¬ 
place many of our more common 
climbing plants. 
The three large-flowered hy¬ 
brids illustrated on page five, 
Elsa Spath, Henryi, and Belle of 
Woking, are decidedly unique. 
Blooms like those of Elsa Spath 
are enjoyed to best advantage 
against a light-colored wall or 
trellis. Henryi and Belle of Wo¬ 
king are well adapted to pot- 
culture because of their moderate 
growth-habit. 
Montana undulata is a spring¬ 
blooming hybrid known for its 
floriferousness and its vigor. 
Kermesina, a medium-flowered 
type, sends forth its flowers 
through the midsummer months. 
The dainty yellow bells of 
Tangutica obtusiuscula are fol¬ 
lowed in autumn by silky seed- 
pods resembling tassels. Here is 
a variety for informal planting. 
The pastel coloring of Mrs. 
Cholmondeley is a pleasing con¬ 
trast to the rich tones of Ville de 
Paris. 
Duchess of Albany, a hybrid of 
the scarlet Clematis of Texas, has 
a charm all its own.
