LARGE-FLOWERING CLEMATIS The large-flowering varieties of Clematis, with their blue, white, lavender, and purple flowers, should be grown more com- monly than the}' are at present. The reason for this is because we do not have anything in the line of flowering vines which can match them in the splendor of their flowers and their long lasting qualities. Their requirements are a trifle different from most other plants, and that is the reason why some people fail with them. They need rich, deep soil, perfect drainage, abundance of water, and, most important of all, they should be planted with the crowns at least six inches beneath the surface of the soil.

Boskoop Seedling (Sieboldi). Extra large lavender. Duchess Of Edinburgh. Double pure white. (See cut.) Jackmani. The popular rich purple variety. /Vlme. Baron Veillard. Light rose, with lilac shading. Ville de Lyon. Bright carmine, the nearest approach to a red yet introduced. Price : Any of the above 40 cts. each; £ per doz.

A cross between the small herbaceous C- integrifolia and C. fackmani; of semi- climbing habit, growing from four to five feet high and produc- ing without intermission from June until late in fall showy indigo- blue flowers, of great sub
