Mrs. Cholmondeley 
Duchess of Albany 
Outstanding 
Hybrids 
Since the publication of our 
first catalog, the Clematis has 
won an important place in many 
American gardens. These hybrids, 
selected for their color-range and 
form, are true aristocrats of the 
plant kingdom. As they become 
better known, they will inevita¬ 
bly replace 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.
