A. L. Siler, Hillsdale, Utah, writes: " You may say to your Canadian correspondent that Clematis montana is the plant that he wants for a bedding plant; it is not a climber but a trailing plant, with large purple flowers, produced in May and June. It prefers a rocky or gravely poor soil, and grows when it gets but little moisture. It is hardier than the oak, and is the plant that a Canadian would naturally want. Clematis Douglasii might give him some satisfaction, but it is a herbacious perennial. Say to A. B. C, of Bucyrus, Ohio, that seed of any of the plants named in his inquiry in the April number will grow if scattered on the ground in the fall of the year."
