CLEMATIS - Large Flowering English Hybrids 
Only in recent years have American gardeners been able to enjoy 
the rare beauty of the many Clematis hybrids. These European garden 
treasures are notable for their spectacular flowers. Outstanding in 
color and in form, they lend dignity and charm to any garden. Grown 
on trellises, arbors, pergolas, old tree stumps, and walls, these climb- 
ing plants often flaunt their beauty in high places where they may be 
enjoyed from many parts of the garden. 
Both the large- and the small-flowered varieties are well worth 
growing. While the large-flowered forms provide great richness of 
color, the small-flowered kinds impress us with their curiously formed 
flowers. 
From a decorative standpoint these Clematis hybrids are most useful. 
They last well when cut and lend themselves to many unique arrange- 
ments. 
Culture. They need a rich, deep, well drained soil; in fact, drainage 
should be perfect and the soil should be prepared at least 2 feet deep, 
using plenty of sharp sand and well-rotted manure. The roots must be 
sent straight down, the whole plant must be deeply set, the crown should 
be not less than 3 inches beneath the surface of the soil. Provide support 
and protect the runners produced the first year from frost with straw or 
small piece of burlap. No protection required after first winter.

Clematis Hybrida 
MRS. ROBERT BRYDEN 
By crossing the lovely sweet scented, deep blue, bushy or dwarf 
Clematis Davidiana with a very stong and robust growing native Amer- 
ican variety, we obtained a beautiful climber, which grows about 8 to 
10 feet high. The top of this vine is covered with billowy masses of pale 
watery blue flowers at their best in August and September. It is pefect 
for covering fences, trellises and pergolas. Being absolutely hardy, it 
can be used anywhere. Is entirely free from insect pests, is always neat 
because the past season’s growth should be partly removed each fall, 
leaving about 3 feet, not more. Easy to grow. Ordinary garden soil 
will do. Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00
