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.

MRS. HOWARD VYSE (Noble) .-A distinct and handsome variety of the patens type, the slender stems furnished with ternate or sometimes biternately divided leaves, in which respect it approaches the florida section. The flowers are flatly expanded and of medium size, consisting of eight oblong elliptic sepals, which are white, slightly but distinctly tinted with mauve along the margins ; the stamens have white filaments, and pale purplish anthers. It is a desirable variety for general culture.
