CLÉMATITE MADAME ÉMILE SORBET
Issue de la Clématite lanugineuse, du Japon, la variété dont nous allons parler en a conservé tous les caractères généraux, c'està-dire, avec l'aspect, la vigueur de la plante, la beauté et l'ampleur des fleurs. Ses feuilles, à rachis préhensible par leur extrémité, ont les folioles ovales, allongées, d'abord fortement villeuses, puis glabres. Les boutons, ovales, allongés, gros, lanugineux, donnent des fleurs qui atteignent 20 centimètres et plus de diamètre; les pétales, nombreux, d'un beau violet lilacé, sont très-régulièrement imbriqués, de manière à former une grande et belle rosace. Elle est très-floribonde, et comme le type dont elle est issue, ses fleurs se succèdent pendant très-long
temps. Quant à la rusticité, elle est complète.
On multiplie la Clématite Mme Emile Sorbet, soit par boutures que l'on fait avec de jeunes bourgeons, à partir du mois d'août, et qu'on étouffe sous cloche, ou mieux encore par la greffe en fente sur des fragments de racines des Clematis flammula ou viticella, qui réussit parfaitement. La Clématite Mme Emile Sorbet a été obtenue par M. Paillet, horticulteur à Châtenay-les-Sceaux, qui l'a mise au commerce au commencement de l'année 1878, et chez qui on pourra se la procurer.

Two New Clematises.-Seeing the pitch of perfection which the genus Clematis has reached, it savours of boldness, if not of temerity, to introduce two new forms to the world, except on the ground of their great merit. Such, however, is the case; and we shall therefore proceed to describe them. The "buttons" of the flowers are very large, villous, and pointed; the petals of the flowers, which are abundant, are very regular, curving back and forming a floral disc, which often reaches 8 in. in diameter. The petals are thick, and are of a beautiful lilac-violet, with metallic reflections at the top, passing into a brighter lilac, but never becoming whitish. The name of Madame Emile Sorbet has been given to this variety, which, along with the one to be described presently, was obtained from the seeds of Clematis lanuginosa, by M. L. Paillet, who has just The second, introduced these two new flowers into the market. which has been called the Duchesse de Cambacères, has flowers nearly as large as the one already described, of which it possesses the vigour and the general appearance. Its petals, however, are not so thick, and more elongated, so that the point in the centre of the disc is longer and thinner. The graceful arrangement of the points of the petals gives the flowers a peculiar appearance of lightness. The petals themselves are of a beautiful azure-blue, with rosy reflections, which produce a charming effect. Like the preceding, it is a plant of great value. It is bardly necessary to say that these two varieties are not injured by cold, and that they keep in bloom for a long time, as these are well-known characteristics for most of the members of the lanuginosa group, while they are pretty free-growing. These two Clematises may be obtained of M. Paillet, horticulturist, of Châtenay-lès-Sceaux (Seine).-" Revue Horticole."
