Clematis Viticella Hybrids 
The original form was introduced from Spain nearly four hundred 
years ago. Because the plants produce their flowers on summer shoots 
they can be pruned vigorously in early spring. The blooms are decidedly 
large, appearing in summer and autumn on plants 10 to 15 feet in 
height.

ON GROWING CLEMATIS 
SOIL. A rich well-drained Joam, lIoosened by 
the addition of sand or peat moss, is best. Make 
certain that the collar of the plant is set 2 to 3 inches 
below the surface of the soil. Firm the soil well 
around the roots. Water frequently in dry weather. 
LOCATION. A partially shaded location with 5 to 
6 hours sunshine is ideal. If planted in full sun pro- 
vide a cool root-run by a good summer mulch of 
some loose material such as peat, straw, rotted 
manure, etc. 
FERTILIZING. Well-rotted manure is pre- 
ferred with any well-balanced plant-food as a good 
second. Work it well into the soil without disturb- 
ing the roots. Use a little lime occasionally. 
_TRELLIS. Provide a support at once—a trellis, 
wire netting, old stumps, Jow shrubs, or stone walls. 
WINTER MULCH. With fall planting of 
Clematis use a mulch of straw, leaves, or peat moss 
for the first winter to prevent the soil from freezing 
and thawing, which sometimes damages the stems 
if they are unprotected. Mice and rabbits may be 
kept from eating the tops by hilling the soil up 
around the stems or by putting small screens 
around them. A winter mulch is cheap protection 
for Clematis anytime.
