TO TRANSPLANT A CLEMATIS.
By LUCY FYERS. M.8.G.. Rangiriri. A clematis is a lovely thing to have in a garden, creeping through a tree or climbing on a trellis. The native clematis is easy to move if taken in September, when in flower, and quite big ones can be moved with success. Two years ago 1 moved one like this. I dug a big hole where I wanted the vine, then I went to the place where the clematis was. I dug a big spit about eighteen inches square round the plant, then I untangled the vine, which was about eight feet high, and I lifted the spit out and put it on to a bag and carried it home. I then filled the hole T had dug with water and put the spit with the clematis in and moulded it in with leaf mould. The clematis is going to flower this year. A Maori woman told me that they grow best in shady places. .
