Montana Superba 
A superior strain of white Montana which blooms 
early in May in New York State. The vine is 20 to 30 
feet in height making a mass of flowers in the spring. 
It blooms on the past season’s wood. Each $1.25

Montana Undulata 
Similar to Montana rubens in its general charac- 
teristics, this variety is distinguished by its soft 
mauve-pink flowers. A setting of stone, preferably 
a wall or a terrace, will do much to bring out the 
beauty of this Asiatic treasure. Each $1.25 
Montana Rubens 
“China, the mother of gardens,” gave us this 
early blooming variety with its rosy red flowers, 
1 to 2 inches across, which change to a deep, clear 
pink as they expand. Here is a plant, too, for the 
garden in late May and June. It will enhance the 
beauty of any window, ‘and seems particularly 
adapted for growing on walls, since it grows 10 to 
15 feet tall. Since it blooms on year-old wood, 
pruning should consist of the removal of dead wood 
only. Each $1.25

Another red Clematis, but this one has a 
purplish cast, the flowers are smaller, and the 
petals are more rounded than those of Jack- 
mani rubra and Crimson King. Perhaps more 
modest in its rapidity of growth (7 feet), it 
excels, however, in a profusion of bloom. A 
cluster of these flowers suggests the richness 
and texture of an old Persian rug. Each $1.25 
WINTER MULCH 
When cold weather arrives, soil should be 
pulled up around the Clematis and straw, peat 
or loose leaves added to prevent winter injury 
from freezing and thawing. Small pieces oi 
screen will prevent mice or rabbits from eat- 
ing Clematis tops in the winter.
