Nelly Moser. Among the many excellent hybrids of Clematis lanugi¬ 
nosa^ the so-called “Woolly-leaved Clematis,” is Nelly Moser. Red 
bars accentuate the pale mauve and white petals. Truly an unusual 
flower, profuse in its bloom and vigorous in its growth (10 to 12 
feet), this variety will bring new interest to the summer garden. 
Prins Hendrik (Prince Hendrick). There is something indescribably 
beautiful about blue flowers. Prins Hendrik is azure-blue, with 
ruffled petals often 7 inches or more in diameter. Indeed, the flowers 
suggest the beauty of rare orchids. It is desirable for conservatory 
treatment as well as for outdoor use, and in either case, the flowers 
last well when cut. Since it reaches a height of about 7 feet, it can 
be cared for easily in a conservatory and can be trained for a de¬ 
sired effect. 
Ramona. Probably so named because it suggested something of the 
beauty of the Indian maiden, this lavender-blue Clematis is accentu¬ 
ated by a disk of darker anthers. Short, pointed buds, rounded 
petals which make a full flower, and vigorous growth are the dis¬ 
tinguishing marks of this exceptional variety which is a fine bloomer 
during the summer months. 
The President. White trellises embellished with the reddish plum- 
violet blossoms of The President will give to the summer garden 
that richness which the dark-flowered climbing roses provide in 
June. It has proved to be a thrifty variety, producing its blooms 
freely the entire length of its lO-foot vines. This plant will appeal 
to the discriminating gardener. 
ViLLE DE Lyon. This Clematis produces an abundance of carmine-red 
flowers which are all the more striking because of the darker tones 
in the center of each blossom. From July until September it clambers 
to a height of 8 to 10 feet, displaying its profusion of bloom that is 
suggestive of some rare and luxurious fabric. 
ViLLE DE Paris. While tones of blue predominate among the Clematis 
hybrids, red holds an important place with its quality of richness 
and distinction. Soft blue flowers with red on each petal suggest 
a gay note, especially when they are set against an ever-expanding 
background of green. July to September comprises the blooming 
season and 8 feet seems to be the maximum height of this French 
favorite. 
William Kennett. The coolness of deep lavender is a welcome adjunct 
to any garden, and it is all the more effective when the flowers are 
unusual in character. In addition to having a long blooming period 
(June to September), William Kennett is a sturdy grower, and pro¬ 
duces flowers of exceptional size.
