Spring Flowering Clematises.
Mr. Noble, of Sunningdale, has produced some beautiful hybrids belonging to this class. They comprise Albert Victor, deep lavender, with brown ribs along the centre of each petal; Harry Richmond, lavender-grey, each petal having a flame of deep violet; Lord Londesborough, rich mauve, the petals having the centre stripe of maroon; Lady Londesborough, silver-grey, with flame of white; Mrs. Villiers Lister, cream tinted with pink, and bars of maroon; Mrs. Howard Vyse, white, each petal edged with mauve; Miss Bateman, pure white, very fine stout flowers; Princess Mary, pink, suffused with puce, each petal having a pale stripe; and Queen Guinevere, creamy white. Mr. Noble has other varieties, but the foregoing have been repeatedly shown, and therefore a definite opinion can be formed as to their merits.

One of the most attractive features of the exhibition was a collection of Clematises in small pots, and profusely flowered, exhibited by Mr. Noble, of Sunningdale, all of which are well suited for early blooming and conservatory purposes, viz.. Queen Guinevere, Lord Londesborough, Lady Londesborough, Lord Napier, Miss Bateman, and Albert Victor.

Descriptive Notes of Species & Varieties.
C. Albert Victor (Noble). — This, which is one of the early-flowering hybrids of the patens group, was raised by Mr. C. Noble, of Bagshot, and in habit very much resembles its parent C. Standishii.  The foliage is ternate, with small ovate leaflets.  The flowers are flat, from five to six inches across, freely produced, usually consisting of eight stout broadly-elliptic rounded sepals; the colour is a deep lavender or a pale mauve, with a slightly-marked paler bar, reddish at the base, in the centre of each sepal, the filaments being white, tipped with chocolate-purple anthers.  The period of flowering out-doors, in this and its allies, is from the middle or end of May to the beginning of July, but when grown under glass they may be had in flower by the middle of March.  A First-class Certificate was awarded to it by the Royal Horticultural Society, in 1869.
