We might particularly mention some of the newer shrubs like Autumn Bouquet and Fragrant Beauty, two very fine, hardy, and truly everblooming varieties in shades of pink and carmine-rose.

Vines
Clematis Jackmani, Jackman’s Clematis. A vine well known for its large, velvety purple flowers in late summer. It has slender branches that climb (with support) 10 to 15 ft. and makes its best growth in loamy soil with shade over its roots. There are many hybrid varieties.

Clematis montana, Mountain Clematis, is an easily grown species that is vigorous and satisfactory and may reach 25 ft. in height. Its white flowers, an inch or two across, are usually in small clusters on wood of the previous season.

Clematis texensis. The scarlet or Texas clematis is a graceful, slender-stemmed species that may grow to a height of 10 feet. Its flowers vary in color from bright scarlet to pink, and though the main bloom is in late June or early July, scattered flowers may be expected during the rest of the summer. First collected in Texas in 1850 and hardy as far north as Maine, it seems strange that this colorful clematis is not more widely used in gardens. It is a parent of several striking hybrids.

Vines
Clematis paniculata, Sweet Autumn Clematis. A vigorous and handsome climber whose stems may reach 30 ft. It has attractive, glossy foliage and in September is covered with lacy masses of small, fragrant, white flowers. Because of its ease of culture this is probably the most satisfactory clematis for general use.

Clematis crispa. Of the many species of Clematis with tubular or urn-shaped flowers, C. texensis and the marsh clematis, C. crispa, are the two best known in gardens. The latter is a graceful climber from the South where it grows naturally in swamps and moist woods from Virginia to Texas. It is hardy in New York City and grows to 8 or 10 ft. The flowers open during the summer and vary from lavender to purple; the thick sepals are curved and spreading at the tips and give the flowers a very pleasing bell shape. Like the Texas clematis it is attractive on pillars or trellises or in wild plantings clambering over low stone walls or shrubbery. This species has produced several interesting hybrids.

Use of Embryo Culture in Rose Breeding
Walter E. Lammerts
One of the most interesting examples of a rose variety resulting from this technique is one called Debonaire, a very highly mildew resistant yellow rose which I developed at Armstrong's Nurseries. The rapidity with which this variety was developed was largely due to the saving of time in the initial stages by the use of the embryo culture technique.
[Apparently the technique was used to produce the unnamed seedling pollen parent crossed with Rapture.]

Nearly all of the modern Miniatures are hardy outdoors. ‘Perla de Alcanada’, a strong thorny crimson, will survive a temperature of 20 degrees below zero, but ‘Diamond Jewel’, a dainty small white, needs protection at zero.

Clematis “Duchess of Albany”. Although there are several hybrids of the American C. texensis only a few of these are now carried by nurserymen. One of the most attractive is Duchess of Albany. The petal-like sepals often have a dark band down the center and a paler tinge along the margins.
