CLEMATIS—Continued Each Ten Hundred 
montana rubens. 10’-15’ Vine Anemone Clematis 
“China,” the mother of gardens,’ gave us this early- 
blooming variety with its rosy red flowers, 1 to 2 inches 
across, which change to a deep, clear pink as they ex- 
pand. Here is a plant for the garden in late May and 
June. It will enhance the beauty of any window, and 
seems particularly adapted for growing on walls, since 
it grows 10 to 15 feet tall. Then, too, the dark rich 
foliage, overcast with purple tones, adds interest through 
the summer. Because it blooms on year-old wood, pruning 
should consist of the removal of dead wood only.

paniculata. 25’-30" Vine. Sweet Autumn Clematis 
The sweet September fragrance of this old favorite indi- 
cates its presence long before the flower-laden vine 
is seen; and the feathery seeds are also decorative.

: I like a man who likes a tree 
"65 ( And want no better company, 
- For such a man, I always find, 
ad Is just the very sort and kind 
Who’s not content unless it be 
He, too, can grow much like a tree. 
For trees, you know, are friends indeed, 
They satisfy such human need, 
In summer shade, in winter fire, 
With flower and fruit meet all desire. 
And if a friend to man you'd be. 
You must befriend him like a tree. 
CHARLES A. HEATH.
