Lapy Betty BALFour. Clematis viticella, introduced to England from Spain 
in the sixteenth century, has given us many delightful hybrids, among 
them Lady Betty Balfour. In early spring it should be cut back half 
way if one would enjoy the full value of its velvety purple flowers through 
the summer months. 
Lapy Caro.ine NEvitue. In contrast to Lord Neville, this hybrid wears a 
mantle of bluish lavender barred with mauve. A good grower, flowering 
freely, it should find a place in many gardens. 
Lapy NorrTHc.iirFe. Of comparatively recent introduction is lovely Lady 
Northcliffe. ‘The large flowers are deep lavender with bright blue tints 
in pleasing harmony with the purple base and showy stamens. 
LANUGINOSA CANDIDA. An all-white variety with large flowers produced in 
summer and autumn. Plants grow about 10 feet tall. 
LASURSTERN. Deep blue flowers of unusual size, borne in June and July. 
Medium-tall plants that bloom abundantly. 
LawsoniANaA. Another blue Clematis, but this one is flushed with mauve and 
ig most attractive. Large flowers with overlapping petals, a long bloom- 
ing season (June to September), and a strong, rich growth make it a 
striking feature in the landscape. 
Lorp Nevit.e. With petals rich in texture, like plum-colored velvet, Lord 
Neville will add a note of luxury to any garden. Where average height 
and long blooming season are desired, together with flowers unusual in 
outline and exquisite in color, this extraordinary plant will meet the 
requirements.
