INES are an important class of plants, as they contri- 
bute a lasting appeal in the positions to which they may 
be assigned. Some as climbers, cling and cover blank wall 
space of brick, stucco or stone, while others grow over archi- 
tectural features such as trellises, arches or pergolas, pro- 
viding delightful backgrounds of color or casting welcome 
shade. Some will trail over rocks, or rough slopes, soften- 
ing the harsher outlines.

Large - Flowering Hybrid Clematis 
These hybrid varieties have a delicacy of form which 
makes them objects of rare and unusual beauty. Trellises, 
pergolas, arches, wire supports, fences, or old stumps make 
desirable supports of these extraordinary flowers. Their 
cultural requirements are simple, as they thrive best in a 
rather light, but rich and well drained garden soil to which 
some lime and bone meal have been added. A partially 
shaded location is ideal, although they succeed in full sun 
if the lower stems are shaded by perennials to keep the 
Clematis roots cool and moist. Do not give them manure.
