ASCOTIENSIS ‘TANGUTICA OBTUSIUSCULA 
Outstanding 
Hybrids 
Since the publication of our catalogue in 1937, the Clematis has risen in 
popularity to a high degree. ‘The new hybrids, selected for their color-range 
and form, are true aristocrats of the garden. As they become better known, 
they will inevitably replace many of our more common climbing plants. 
It is difficult to realize that these lavishly colored hybrids are related to 
the familiar Clematis paniculata which is so modest in its display of color. The 
comparison is not made to disparage the value of this reliable and useful 
plant, but rather toimpress the plant enthusiast with the great accomplishments 
of modern plant-breeding. 
Crimson King and Mme. Edouard Andre are impressive in their regal 
coloring which is not widely separated in the spectrum, but each has its 
distinctive form. 
Mme. Baron-Veillard and Lawsoniana rate attention for their soft texture 
and their delicate blending of tones. 
The pastel beauty of Comtesse de Bouchaud sets it apart as a garden 
subject to be grown where it can be enjoyed at close range.
