CLIBRANS’ HOLLIES
(Ilex Aquifolium, and varieties)
A Speciality of our Nurseries for Fifty Years.
Photo] Ilex Aquifolium Hodginsii. [Clibrans
One of several hundred specimens in our Nurseries of this fine broad-leaved variety. See page 3.
A SOIL and situation particularly well adapted to the cultivation of Hollies,
has enabled us to raise and maintain one of the largest and finest collec-
tions in the country. From small plants to large heavy specimens, the
plants are in perfect health, possess an abundance of fibrous roots, and are in
splendid condition for removal.
3
CLIBRANS’ HOLLIES— continued.
There are no Evergreens so effective or useful as Hollies, hardy and
beautiful at all times, withstanding the smoke of town gardens, they adapt
themselves to a variety of purposes ; there is no better plant for hedge purposes,
forming an impenetrable barrier, than the Holly, whilst as a specimen it is ideal.
Further, it is one of the few evergreens that will withstand severe cutting and
pruning ; this, however, should be done in April or September. Transplanting,
assuming the weather is not excessively dry, is best done during May, or in early
autumn.
Particular attention is invited to our specimen Hollies, description fails to
convey an adequate impression of their development. Clothed with foliage
from base to apex, trained as pyramids with sharply defined or rounded out-
line, furnished with stout leaders, and possessing an abundance of fibrous roots,
they cannot fail with reasonable care and attention to move safely and thrive.
We welcome inspection of these plants.

CLIBRANS’
EVERGREEN, DECIDUOUS and
FLOWERING SHRUBS.
Lovely effects may beattained by the judicious use of many of our evergreen,
deciduous, ornamental flowering and fruiting Shrubs. Upon the various forms
of Shrubs, perhaps more than any other class of plant, we are dependent for the
beauty of our gardens and pleasure grounds. Why it should continue to be so
common a practice of using such objects as Common Privet, Laurels, &c., for
the planting of gardens and pleasure grounds, to the almost total exclusion of
the many beautiful and highly ornamental Shrubs of other families, is a mystery.
Whatever effect may be required, either an evergreen appearance, floral beauty,
spring or autumn tints, or plants producing ornamental fruits, can easily be
obtained by the use of a careful and judicious selection of Shrubs.
The following pages contain a select and comprehensive collection of all
that is choicest and best in Shrubs, many of them of great rarity ; we commend
their perusal to all lovers of Shrubs and admirers of natural beauty.
PRUNING OF SHRUBS. — To be successful, this operation requires a considerable amount
of care and knowledge of the subjects to be dealt with.
Summer pruning can be carried out with advantage immediately the flowering season is
over, on plants that produce flowers on wood of the previous year’s growth. We refer to such
subjects as Philadelphus, Deutzia, Forsythia, Lilac, Weigela, etc. ; in these cases pruning
should be confined to the cutting away of old wood that has produced flowers, and so admit
light and air to the growth that will produce flowers during the following season.
Winter pruning can be performed satisfactorily on Shrubs that flower on the current
season’s young growth, and also on other subjects if they have exceeded the space allotted them.
All marked (*) should be planted in Sheltered Situations.

CLIBRANS’
RHODODENDRONS.
CHOICE NAMED VARIETIES.
Of all hardy, ornamental, evergreen shrubs the Rhododendron is, without
doubt, the most valuable and beautiful. The foliage at all times has a handsome
appearance, whilst the trusses of flowers that now (thanks to the many hybrids
we possess) cover the widest range of colours from purest white to deepest
crimson, give the plants a gloriously beautiful appearance in early summer not
possessed by any other family of shrubs. For planting as specimens in clumps, in
isolated beds or borders, also for forcing purposes under glass, they are at once
unique and beautiful. Of hardy constitution and vigorous in growth, also the
freedom with which they produce their blooms, they naturally adapt themselves
to almost any position or situation. Few plants possess greater resistance to
the ill-effects of smoke experienced in town gardens. Our collection of Rhodo-
dendrons includes every variety that can be thoroughly recommended for all
ordinary positions. During the blooming period the display of flowers in our
nurseries is a beautiful feature, and offers opportunities for comparison and
selection that cannot be obtained otherwise. We invite inspection of our stock
at all times, either when the plants are in or out of bloom.

Clibrans’ Special Selections of
Trees and Shrubs.
These selections are made for a precise object, and should enable those not acquainted with
the varieties to order the best kinds for any specific purpose or situation from the whole range
of cultivated Tree and Shrub life. We do not affirm every variety offered, or say the collec-
tions for autumn foliage will in all places and positions colour brilliantly, or that there will be
no failures amongst the Trees and Shrubs for planting under Trees. Density of shade, dryness
and character of soil, purity of atmosphere, all affect their well-being greatly.

CLIBRANS’ CLEMATIS.
The Clematis, with its brilliant colours, freedom of bloom and hardiness, is probably the
most popular of all climbing plants. A richly manured soil is indispensable if the best result
is aimed at. Manure ought to be well mixed with the soil when planting, and used annually
as a mulch for winter protection, forking it in very lightly in the spring. The addition of
chalk or lime to the soil when planting is also beneficial.
TIME OF FLOWERING.— The Jackmanni and lanuginosa sections bloom from July
to October ; viticella and ccerulea odorata from July to September ; patens and Montana
in May and June ; Florida in June and July ; Clematis indivisa and indivisa lobata are
tender kinds, and flower indoors from February to May.
PRUNING. — The Jackmanni, lanuginosa, viticella, and Ccerulea sections should be
pruned in early winter, after the flowering season, cutting the shoots back well into the old
wood, as they bloom on the current year's growth ; Florida, patens, and Montana sections
should only have the weak and unnecessary shoots cut out, as they bloom on the previous
year’s ripened wood.
GENERAL COLLECTION.
All are in pots. Prices, 2/6 to 3/6 each ; extra large, 5/- to 7 6 each.
