Mme. Edouard Andre. Another red Clematis, but this one has a 
purplish cast, the flowers are smaller, and the petals are more 
rounded than those of Jackmani rubra and Crimson King. Perhaps 
more modest in its rapidity of growth (7 feet), it excels, however, 
in a profusion of bloom. A cluster of these flowers suggests the 
richness and texture of an old Persian rug. 
Mr. G. J. Patijn. A recent hybrid which is unique for its double flowers, 
this variety is the only double form that approaches the universally 
popular Clematis Jackmam in color. The large, double, pale blue 
flowers are at their best in midsummer. Mr. G. J. Patijn offers 
possibilities for pot-culture. 
Mrs. Cholmondeley. Wisteria-blue is featured by this lady with the 
long name, and the color, we think, is far more remarkable than the 
designated name. Rare delicacy of color and large, open flowers, 
borne in profusion, are desirable qualities for summer-flowering 
vines, and it is extraordinary to find such an unusual tone of blue 
in this group of plants. 
Nellie Moser. Among the many excellent hybrids of Clematis lanugi¬ 
nosa, the so-called “Woolly-leaved Clematis,’’ is Nellie 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 10-foot vines. This plant will appeal 
to the discriminating gardener.
