Large lowered Gy lematis 
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 climbing 
plants often flaunt their beauty in high places where they may be 
enjoyed from many parts of the garden. 
Both the large- and small-flowered varieties are well worth growing. 
While the large-flowered forms provide great richness of color, the 
small-lowered kinds impress us with their curiously formed flowers. 
From a decorative standpoint these Clematis hybrids are most use- 
ful. They last well when cut and lend themselves to many unique 
arrangements. 
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.

CELASTRUS - Bittersweet or Wax Work 
One of our native climbing plants, of rapid growth, succeeding in almost 
any situation, sun or shade. Discontinued in favor of: 
Loeseneri (Chinese Bittersweet) Sold out for this season 
Most prolific fruiting variety known. This new importation is a rare 
species from Central and Western China. The clean leaves are glaucous 
green and somewhat larger than those of the common Bittersweet. 
It is the most prolific fruiting kind we know. In autumn, yellow and 
orange-scarlet berries cover the vine all over instead of in occasional 
small clusters as in the common Bittersweet. It’s a sure fruiter, but 
3 an we recommend you plant two plants in one hole and take advantage 
of the resulting cross pollination, which gives still more fruit.
