NEW CLEMATISES.
Among the pale-flowered Clematises, C. Mrs. Melville, C. Mrs. G. Mitchell Innes, and C. Thomas Tennant, are new Scotch varieties of the lanuginosa type, raised by Mr. J. Anderson Henry. The former has pale mauve flowers of great size; the second is a double variety, resembling C. John Gould Veitch in size and doubleness of the flower, but it is of a slightly paler shade of lilac-mauve. It is considered to be much superior to that variety, in that it is a perpetual bloomer, commencing in the early summer, and continuing to flower till late in the autumn; [the third is]of a delicate pink colour, changing to ivory-white with age. This produces enormous flowers, in fact, the prevailing characteristic of Mr. J. A. Henry's raising is the enormous size of their flowers. It is recommended by those sending it out as the finest light-coloured Clematis in cultivation.
