Large-flowered Varieties 
ASCOTIENSIS. ‘Tapering buds which assume many interesting forms when 
unfolding their large, violet-blue petals, producing a star-like form, with a 
circle center of creamy stamens accentuating the distinctive outline of 
the flower. It attains a height of 8 to 10 feet, and its blooming period 
extends from July to late September. 
ComTEssE DE Boucnaup. Gracefully curved, deeply veined petals that range 
in tone from satiny rose to rich pink. Delightfully different and appealing. 
The plant is a strong grower and a profuse bloomer from July to Sep- 
tember, and reaches 8 to 10 feet in height. 
Crimson Kinc. The name itself suggests the color, which is vinous red with 
brownish anthers. In size it is truly spectacular, for it often attains a 
diameter of 6 to 7 inches. Comparatively new, this showy hybrid (6 to 
8 feet) holds the distinction of having the best red tone yet produced. 
The blooming period is from June to September. 
Crimson Star. A hybrid of the well-known and widely grown Jackmani, 
and possessing all the fine qualities of that variety. The color is a true 
rich red without any purplish tones. Its great vigor and quantities of 
flowers make it a favorite. 
DucuEss oF EpinsurcH. Double, pure white flowers not unlike a gardenia. 
White flowers make highlights in the shady garden and help to tone down 
the brilliant hues in the open border. It is interesting to note that this new 
introduction blooms on year-old wood, hence pruning should consist of 
removing only the dead wood in late February or March. The growth- 
habit of Duchess of Edinburgh suggests its use for pillar treatment. 
EvLsA SpATH. Here is a true deep blue Clematis with a rich dark center 
which is accentuated by the crown of anthers. Profuse in bloom from 
July to September, vigorous in growth, and attaining a height of 8 feet, 
this variety has many desirable qualities which should appeal to lovers 
of blue flowers. What a feature for a blue garden with Formosa or Regal 
Lilies in the foreground! 
EpouaArD DesrosseE. Very large flowers, violet-colored with deeper bars. 
The plant is of medium height. 
EMPRESS OF INp1A. Light violet-purple with a deep purple base. ‘The blooms 
are very rich and exotic-looking and are sure to be outstanding in any 
group of Clematis.
