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. Running to around 250 pages (in the current issue), The Clematis is a high quality publication and its articles are well supported by many colour photographs. The journal is currently edited by Brian Collingwood who is a well repected amateur hybridiser.

This ever eagerly awaited publication appears in November or December, back issues of the previous journals (where still available) through Margaret Morris at a cost of £1.00 each + P&P from the following address:- 18 Sycamore Place, Bradwell Village, Burford, Oxon, OX18 4XJ.
