CLEMATIS, NELLY MOSER, LENDS ITSELF TO PILLAR TREATMENT 
satisfying plants are those grown from cuttings or layering, since there is 
no danger that the understock will predominate. It has also been observed 
that grafted stock is more susceptible to disease. 
In the descriptions that follow, the reader will observe that the large- 
flowered Clematis vary in height from 6 to 15 feet or more. Then, too, the 
color-range is wide, including tones of many colors from wine-red to pure 
white, with blue and violet hues predominating. Several of the species are 
yellow, but this color is not found among the large-flowered hybrids. Flower 
forms are curious, unique, and interesting. Some are saucer-like, suggesting 
the form of pond-lilies, and others have unusual bell-like flowers. The 
smaller-flowered species are usually taller growers than the large-flowered 
hybrids, and more floriferous. Nevertheless, the quality and the distinctive 
beauty of the large-flowered varieties places them in a class apart. Truly, 
when the range of color, the exquisite beauty of form, and the simple cul- 
tural requirements of the large-flowered Clematis are better known they will 
be regarded among the choicest gems of twentieth-century horticulture.
