Clematis Treated Bedding Pant-Good Flowers for
Shippng-Lirne as a Club Root Preventive

July, they came freely into flower and
were the admiration of all who saw
them.
"A later crop Of flowers may be had
by late pruning; that is, if the plants
are pruned late, the profuse head of
bloom will come in later, but in all in

Is wanted being some inducement to

the extraordinary profuseness of flow
ers may lead to the neglect Of the aids
which the plants really require and
which they SO thoroughly repay.

planted out so the roots may not be

1t was George Jackman of Surrey,
England. the originator of clematis
5ackmani. who first suggested the use
Of clematis for bedding. in 1.-THE Gle
mats as a Garden Flower" by
Thomas Moore and George Jackman,
published in 1872.
The employment of the clematis
as bedding plant was first brought
about in a kind Of accidental way. It
happened that some OF the plants, in
the plantation Of hybridized seedlings
from which clematis jsckmani and
others were selected, were blown down
during the early part of the summer
and the poles were not renewed.
AS the summer and autumn passed
on 1t was noticed that these plants
spread out their branches over the
surface Of the ground and lowered as
profusely there as when elevated in
the usual way. II was inferred that.
81 pegged down like verbenas. the
clematis would make good bedding
plants, while they would have the
advantage over ordinary bedding
stock that they would be permanent
Towering year after year, and with
Increased vigor as the roots became
more thoroughly established.
For some years the beds Of Glenn

objects Of great beauty. The condi-
lions were not the most promising
for the soil at Working is of a light
sandy character, and one which 1t
might be supposed would not afford
the plants sufficient nourishment, at
least as permanent bedders, but the
result has proved in every way most
encouraging, the beds showing a mass

THE beds were prepared by deep
trenching. a good dressing of well rot

LIME STOPS CLUB ROOT.

Tests at the Ohio Experiment Sta

bage may be controlled by heavy APP
plications of lime on the infected
soil From seventy to eighty bushels
Of limestone per acre are required to
completely destroy the disease. Club
root also attacks caullfower. particu-
larly when grown on soil infected with

applied to control the disease Is also
effective in sweetening the soil. thus
