CLEMATIS.
£“ Frame Farmer. ”3
Of trailing plants the Clematis ranks amongst the most beautiful. The newer varieties produced in Europe by hybridizing are superb. They are nearly all climbers. Its favorite way to climb is over a pile of brush or a wire frame, and an oval or round bed has a most striking effect as it throws its flowers above the foliage. Some bloom on the old and some on the young wood. Jaokmanii, a very floriferous variety, is of a brilliant blue colour; Fair Rosamond, six inches in diameter, bluish white ; John Gould Veitoh has double blue flowers. Lueis Lemoine is a very fine double white variety, resembling sometimes a white camellia. Thomas Moore has large purple flowers, resembling a Bassion flower. There are about seventy-five varieties, including a scarlet variety from Texas; a color not known before among the Clematis.
