Lovely Oematis for tbe Garden 
Duchess of 
Edinburgh 
Double, pure white, and not 
unlike a Gardenia, is the de- 
scription for the flowers of this 
most desirable plant. 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 introduc- 
tion blooms on year-old wood, 
hence pruning should consist of 
removing only the dead wood 
in late February or March. 
The growth habit of Duchess 
of Edinburgh suggests its use 
for pillar treatment.

stemssuggesta grace

are interesting fea- 
tures. July to Sep- 
tember is the bloom- 
ing period, and this 
variety 1S particu- 
larly desirable where 
it can be seen at 
close range. Of in- 
terest to those who are partial to American plants is the fact 
that this magnificent hybrid had its origin as a hybrid of 
Texensis—the Scarlet Clematis of Texas. Each $2.00

Crispa 
Also known as Marsh or Curly Clematis, it is character- 
ized by graceful foliage and dainty bell or urn-shaped flow- 
ers. The color of this species, which is indigenous to the 
South, has been described as steel-blue, and it has proved 
hardy in northern New York. While its native habitat is 
that of a swamp, it thrives well in ordinary loam that has 
been well limed. These curious, bell-like flowers are in evi- 
dence from July to September and the plant can be expected 
" _ toclimb 8 feet on a trellis, or better still, scramble over some 
Crispa early blooming shrub. Each $1.00
