CLEMATIS 
We call special attention to the fine list of these 
we are offering this season. As there have been 
many failures in growing Clematis a few simple 
directions as to their culture may not be out of place 
here, this refers more especially to the large flowered 
varieties as with the small flowered section failures 
are comparatively few. Plant where there is not more 
than 4-5 hours sunshine a day and use either low 
growing plants or peat moss to help keep roots cool. 
xcellent drainage is very necessary, clematis like 
a rich soil but not too heavy, they are all lime lovers 
so a little sprinkling about them occasionally will be 
helpful. Well rotted cow manure is an ideal fertilizer 
and fine bone while slow acting is safe and valuable, 
spite of contrary opinions occasionally expressed. 
Be sure to provide suitable trellises or wire sup- 
ports, for the plants should not be fastened too close 
to stone or brick walls. The small flowered section 
ean be headed back hard each spring but the large 
flowered group simply require old wood which is dead 
or nearly so removed. Our plants are mainly in pots 
of both sections, a limited number being wrapped in 
sphagnum moss and waterproof paper, all are staked, 
planting can thus be done over quite a long season.
