flowering form which is known everywhere.

ON GROWING CLEMATIS 
Soil. A rich well-drained loam, loosened by 
the addition of sand or peat-moss, is best. 
Make certain that the collar of the plant is 
set 2 to 3 inches below the surface of the soil. 
Firm the soil well around the roots. Water 
frequently in dry weather. 
Location. A partially shaded location 
with 5 to 6 hours’ sunshine Is ideal. If planted 
in full sun provide a cool root-run by a good 
summer mulch of some Ioose material such as 
peat, straw, rotted manure, etc. 
ALL PRICES SUBJECT TO MARKET 
CHANGES 

Fertilizing. Well-rotted manure ts pre- 
ferred with any well-balanced plant-food as a 
good second. Work it well into the soil with- 
out disturbing the roots. Use a Iittle lime 
occasionally. 
Trellis. Provide a support at once—a 
trellis, wire netting, old stumps, low shrubs, 
or stone walls. 
Winter Mulch. With fall planting of 
Clematis use a mulchof straw, leaves, or peat 
moss for the first wimter to prevent the soil 
from freezing and thawing, which sometimes 
damages the stems if they are unprotected.
