CLEMATIS VINES 
The beauty of this climbing plant has been overlooked by the average landscape 
planter. They are equally as lovely if grown on a trellis or kept tied to a pole. 
By planting several of the varieties you are assured of a constant blooming 
season from early spring to late fall. A sweet, loamy soil is preferred. Can be 
planted in direct sun as long as the roots are shaded, Very hardy.

SUGGESTIONS ON PLANTING 
Camellias, Azaleas and Rhododendrons are three of the choicest shrubs that 
are used in landscapes. They are all evergreen blooming plants. The Camellias 
bloom first and before they are through blooming the Azaleas start to bloom and 
the Rhododendrons follow on through, which gives a long season of blooms. The 
Mollis Azalea loses its leaves in the winter so should be planted among the 
evergreen shrubs. The dwarf Heathers also fit in nicely with Camellias, Azaleas 
and Rhododendrons as they bloom summer, winter, spring and fall. Gardeners 
that have only a limited time to work in their yards will appreciate all of these 
plants as there is very little pruning, no transplanting if placed properly to start, 
and very little if any spraying for insects to do. They are also easy to grow as 
they all prefer the same type acid, loose peat-moss soil. But one should be very 
careful not|to over-fertilize the Azaleas. A teaspoonful of any acid fertilizer 
each year is plenty. If your climate is hot and dry no doubt you will have a sweet 
soil. To produce acid soil epsom salts or aluminum sulphate can be used. About 
one tea-cup per plant and water in well. They like water on their foliage as they 
breathe through their leaves, which makes them easy to care for as you can eas- 
ily turn the sprinkler on them for an hour or so once or twice a week, depending 
of course on your climate. Never allow soil around plants to dry. The old Camel- 
lia and Rhododendron blooms are liable to cause a disease so be sure to keep 
them picked off from plants and do not allow them to lie on the ground. Dispose 
of them. Do not use them in compost piles. 
If these simple instructions are followed all plants should be thrifty, healthy 
plants that bloom profusely, They should be a joy to all flower lovers the year 
around,
