T LAST the Clematis hybrids are getting their share 
AN of attention tn the garden world. Although many va- 
rieties were known in this country in the 90’s, they 
were forgotten for some curious reason. It is only within 
the last few years that garden makers have been made to 
realize the beauty and the value of this great plant family. 
No group of climbing plants ts more distinctive for its 
wide color range, its variety of forms, and its decorative 
possibilities. To be sure, the Clematis is a regal plant but 
it need not have a spacious setting. In fact, its greatest 
charm is the pleasing suggestion of informality which it 
lends to pergolas, trellises, arbors, fences and old tree 
stumps. 
The blooming dates given here are based on observa- 
tions made here at Fairport in the western part of New 
York State. As with most plants, the first display of 
bloom is more profuse than the autumn display. It ts 
important to realize that some varieties produce blooms 
on new wood and some on old wood. Accordingly, we are 
presenting the flowers in groups according to type.
