CLEMATIS FLORIDA HYBRIDS 
These varieties are noted for their profuse bloom in early summer, reaching a 
height of 8 to 10 feet. The flowers are produced on old or ripened wood. It is 
necessary to remove only dead and weak growth when pruning. 
DucHEss oF EDINBURGH. Double, pure white flowers not unlike a gardenia. 
White flowers make highlights in the shady garden and help to tone down 
the brilliant hues in the open border. It is interesting to note that this new 
introduction blooms on year-old wood, hence pruning should consist of re- 
moving only the dead wood in late February or March. The growth-habit of 
Duchess of Edinburgh suggests its use for pillar treatment. See page 10. 
CLEMATIS JACKMANI HYBRIDS 
These large-flowered climbing forms produce their bloom in summer and early 
autumn successionally on new and summer growth. The plants reach a height of 
10 to 15 feet and are noted for their profuse bloom. 
COMTESSE DE BoucHAup. Gracefully curved, deeply veined petals that range in 
tone from satiny rose to rich pink. Delightfully different and appealing. ‘The 
plant is a strong grower and a profuse bloomer from July to September, and 
reaches 8 to 10 feet in height. See page 7. 
CRIMSON Star. A hybrid of the well-known and widely grown Jackmani, and 
possessing all the fine qualities of that variety. The color is a true rich red 
without any purplish tones. Its great vigor and quantities of flowers make it a 
favorite. See page 2. 
Gipsy QuEEN. A hybrid of the well-known Jackmani, Gypsy Queen has velvety 
violet-purple flowers of a pleasing size. Typically a summer-blooming variety 
with all the vigor of its parent, and should be pruned severely in early spring. 
JAcKMANI. The most popular of all the large-flowering Clematis in America, 
with large, velvety violet-purple flowers. Rapid and vigorous in growth, often 
10 feet 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. See front cover and page 15. 
JACKMANI SUPERBA. Dark violet-purple and larger than Jackmani, it may well be 
considered a splendid addition to the large-flowered Clematis because of its 
rich substance. See page 16. 
MMe. BARON-VEILLARD. If pastel tones are desired, the warm lavender flowers of 
this French introduction will undoubtedly meet with approval. As the days get 
cooler, the color of the blooms becomes more intense, and its growth is checked 
only by frost. It is tall growing (10 to 12 feet), sturdy of growth, and very pro- 
fuse in bloom. The flowers are moderate in size, borne in generous clusters, and 
of unusually delicate beauty. See page 14. 
Mme. Epouarp Anpreé. Another red Clematis, but this one has a purplish cast, 
the flowers are smaller, and the petals are more rounded than those of Jack- 
mani rubra and 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 
suggests the richness and texture of an old Persian rug. See page 6.
