CLEMATIS ELSA SPAETH 
ROEDING'S QUALITY 

CLIMBING and TRAILING PLANTS. 
Climbers soften harsh architectural features, conceal bare walls and fences, and perform many 
other useful tasks that make our homes and gardens more livable. Our list provides an assortment for 
every purpose, including ground covers for barren banks. It is designed to allow latitude for personal 
taste. You will find varieties with large foliage, varieties with small foliage, rampant or restrained 
climbers and flowers in all hues. Most climbers come in handy containers and may be planted at 
any season of the year. We find that best results are obtained by planting when the soil is fairly 
warm, when growth-response is satisfyingly prompt. See preceding page for other varieties. 
CLEMATIS 
Large Flowering Varieties. 
Available after April 1. Price $1.25 each. 
Success with Clematis depends greatly on the situa- 
tion in which they are planted. The ideal planting 
site provides a cool shaded area for the roots and 
full sun or part shade for the tops. Shade can be pro- 
vided for the roots by planting on the north or east 
side of a bushy shrub or by erecting a sun-shield of 
shingles near the base of the plants. Care must be 
taken in planting and tying. New stems are slender 
and brittle. Clematis supports itself by means of ten- 
drils that twist readily about a wire or string.

blue. Blooms from July to September.
