It is a matter of interest that hybrid clematis may be grown in beds, and in this case require to be trained over hoops to form a low convex shield-shaped mass of green leaves and gorgeous flowers.  For this purpose the best are Jackmanni, with violet-purple flowers; Rubro-violacea, with maroon-purple flowers; Alexandra, reddish-violet; Magnifica, purple and red; Rubella, deep claret; Star of India, reddish-plum with red stripe; Tunbridgense, reddish-lilac with mauve stripe.

One of the grandest natural species (as distinguished from garden varieties) is Clematis lanuginosa.  This produces flowers of immense size, the colour a soft lavender-blue or lilac-tinted grey, which is enriched with a tuft of reddish anthers.  This plant does not flower so freely or so continuously as to satisfy the exigent florists, and the question has arisen, What can we do to improve it?
In the year 1858 Mr. George Jackman, of the Woking Nurseries, made an endeavor to meet that question, and extraordinary results have followed therefrom.  He crossed C. lanuginosa with C. Hendersoni, and obtained two new and splendid varieties, producing flowers remarkable for their richness of colouring, their excessive profusion, and their long continuance.  Rarely in the history of practical floriculture have we seen so great a triumph accomplished at one bound.  The two new sorts were named respectively C. Jackmanni and C. rubro-violacea.  The first-named is certainly one of the most popular garden flowers known.  The other, of which we present a faithful portrait, is less popular, but not less worthy of esteem; for its flowers are exquisitely coloured and lustrous, and are produced in the most prodigal profusion- in fact, a verandah well clothed with this clematis will present during the later summer months a display of colour of the most surprising and delightful character.
