SOCIETY JOURNALS


The Clematis' is a journal of record for the Society, containing a pleasing mixture of authoritative articles on the genus, news and notes for gardeners and humorous anecdotes.

The journal is currently edited by Brian Collingwood who is a well respected amateur hybridiser.

This ever eagerly awaited publication appears in November or December, back issues of the previous journals (where still available) through Charne Griffiths at a cost of £1.00 each + P&P from the following address:- Haselour Cottage, Harlaston, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 4XJ.
