How to Grow Clematis 
The large-flowered Hybrid Clematis 
isn’t the easiest thing to grow, but it is - 
so beautiful that it surely is worth a little 
extra effort. First off, it likes lime. If © 
your soil is sour, add a ‘little lime to it, ¥ 
And be careful how you handle and. : 
plant them. Don’t crack the stems, and ] 

be sure to spread out the brown fleshy 
roots carefully. Work dirt well around — 
them, and mound them up just before 
freezing. ; PH ss “SOON a

building, where it will be slightly shel- — 
tered. Once the vines are established, 7 
leave them alone. That’s all. g za)
