The different varieties and species of Cle- matis now in cultivation are of the highest beauty and utility. They vary greatly in their foliage and flowers, and are adapted 'arious uses; some of them, such as our common native sort, (C. Virgin- i), and the European Virgin's Bower (C. flammula), are quite fragrant, ^and particularly attractive on this account. The large-flowered varieties,^ like well-known C. Jackmanni, are extremely showy, and produce great num- bers of their beautiful flowers. These plants are trained on trellises, and over porches and pillars; they are also planted in beds and the stems allowed to run upon the ground, being pegged down to keep them in place, thus producing great masses of bloom which make a grand appearance, especially when contrasting colors are in prox- imity. All are hardy, of easy growth, and will adapt themselves to nearly or quite all soils. They will make themselves at home in any good garden. American (C. Virginiana)—One of the most rapid-growing kinds, covered in August with the greatest profusion of pale white flowers, which are succeeded by brown hairy-like plumes; very beautiful and unique. Coccinea—Distinct from other varieties; bright coral scarlet flowers. July to October. Crispa—A handsome native variety, with nodding, bell-shaped, lavender-purple, fragrant flowers, which are an inch or a little more in length and breadth, with revolute sepals ; very distinct. Flammula (European Sweet)—The flowers of this variety are very fragrant; requires a slight protection in Winter ; very desirable. Viticella—An old European sort, with small blue flowers on long stems—very hardy and vigorous. Clematis, Large Flowering
