CLEMATIS, Dwarf - Shrubby Clematis 
Here we deal only with the herbaceous species, the stems of which die 
down in autumn, and that are of a bushy and non-climbing habit. 
Those offered are suitable for the mixed border, and make a very 
effective display when in flower. 
Culture. They prefer a chalky, well drained loam. Where this is not 
available, mix plenty of lime with the soil. Plant in autumn or spring. 
In autumn cut the stems back to the soil, and give a good mulching 
of well-decayed manure. 
Davidiana, Azure Each: 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
Another fine hybrid of this worth-while border plant. Deep blue flowers 
in great profusion, sweetly scented. Hardy as an Oak, no insect pests, 
ees well on any soil. Easily one of the best of summer-flowering border 
plants. 
Mandchurica Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
Here we have an exceptionally good plant for cutting. When established 
this variety will send up in July spikes about 3 feet high wh'ch are 
superb for cutting. The white, fragrant flowers are loosely spaced on 
wiry branches and mix nicely with other cut flowers. In the hardy border 
it grows into a large, graceful clump that blends well with other plants. 
It is an iron-clad plant. Nothing bothers it and it will withstand the 
lowest temperatures encountered in this country.
