Clematis 
For Every Garden 
HE Clematis is one of the 
most graceful and delightful 
of all climbing plants, yet it is 
unfamiliar to many gardeners who 
would be charmed by its beauty if 
only they got acquainted with the 
many species and hybrids now 
available. Both the large and the 
small-flowered kinds offer a whole 
new field for exploration by those 
interested in the ever-changing 
pageant of form and color.

The delicate appearance of the 
bloom would lead one to expect a 
plant most exacting in its require- 
ments, yet once started in a suit- 
able location the Clematis is not a 
difficult garden subject. In growth 
it is informal, readily adapting it- 
self to a fence, old stump, arch or 
trellis. It may also be grown on 
wires, to create a pleasing tracery 
on garden walls. 
This booklet’s purpose is to 
bring the beauty of the Clematis 
into the consciousness of garden- 
lovers. Truly deserving of wider 
culture, it should find its way into 
more home surroundings.
