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 anima] 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.
