JACKMANI 
The most popular of all the large-flowering Cle- 
matis in America, with large, velvety violet- 
purple flowers. This variety has long held the 
popular acclaim which it so richly deserves. 
Rapid and Vigorous in growth often 10 ft. high 
it is profuse in bloom throughout the summer 
and early autumn. Its beauty and perfection can 
be retained by cutting back plants to 3 feet in 
order to encourage strong new wood. 
HENRYI 
It might well have been called Henryi gigantea 
for the large white flowers not infrequently 
measure 8 inches across. Although the growth 
is vigorous and it climbs to a height of 8 feet, 
Henryi is outstanding for its quality of bloom 
rather than its quantity. Here is a hybrid of

Another red Clematis, but this one has 
a purplish cast, the flowers are smaller 
and the petals are more rounded than 
LAWSONIANA 
Another blue Clematis, but this one is flushed 
with mauve and is most attractive. Large flow- 
ers with overlapping petals, a long blooming 
season (June to September), and a strong rich 
growth make it a striking feature in the land- 
those of Crimson King. Perhaps more 
modest in its rapidity of growth (7 feet), 
it excels, however, in a _ profusion of 
bloom. <A cluster of these flowers sug-

A FEW NOTES ON GROWING CLEMATIS 
Clematis thrives best in a rich garden loam of rather light texture. Applications of 
water during dry periods will help to keep the plants in a healthy condition. The 
addition of well-decomposed cow-manure, or any other animal manure or bonemeal, 
worked well into the soil, will supply the necessary plant nutrients. 
Clematis should be planted with the collar of the plant at least 2 to 3 inches below 
the surface of the soil. It is not necessary to cultivate clematis, and, in fact, the roots 
resent it. It might be of interest to state that clematis plants have withstood a 
temperature of 40 degrees below zero without injury when a protective mulch had 
been used. It is the alternate freezing and thawing during the winter months that 
does harm to plants, hence the reason for using a mulch.
