A Few Words About the Clematis.
It is hardly fair to give so lovely a plant as the Clematis a mere passing mention.  The tender, faint, silvery white of C. Lucie Lemoine, the broad gleaming white of C. Gloire de St. Julienne and Henryii, and the rich royal purple of C. Thomas Moore, Prince of Wales, patens or azurea, and Jackmani, the latter almost the best of all, come to us as a surprise; almost a miracle as we first behold their tender petals resting on masses of shining leaves.
