These should be planted in double rows, each row 6 inches apart, and the plants 10 inches apart in the rows.

The Clematis, always a great favorite, because of its use- fulness for juirposes where vines are required, as well as for the beauty of its flowers, has gained even a firmer foothold than before, within a few years past, and chiefly because of the great strides made in the production of kmds with large and handsome flowers.
