LARGE-FLOWERING HYBRID CLEMATIS 
(T.) These magnificent hybrid varieties offer a new and novel 
group of vines to the enthusiastic gardener. Not only are their 
flowers (3 to 8 inches across) striking in size and color range, but 
they have a sturdiness of growth and delicacy of form which makes 
them objects of rare and unusual beauty. Trellises, pergolas, arches, 
wire supports, fences, or old stumps make desirable supports of these 
extraordinary flowers. Their cultural requirements are simple, as 
they thrive best in a rather light, but rich and well drained garden 
soil to which some lime and bone meal have been added. A partially 
shaded location is ideal, although they succeed in full sun if the 
lower stems are shaded by perennials to keep the Clematis roots cool 
and moist. Do not give them manure.
