Articles in the BCS Journal 'The Clematis'
The BCS Journal is
sent each year to every member, home and overseas, and the BCS
welcomes articles for potential inclusion. Articles can be of
general or more specific nature and are welcome from beginners,
amateurs and more experienced growers alike. The aim is to present
as wide a range of illustrated articles as possible, connected with
clematis, hopefully so that there is 'something for everyone' each
year.
Articles and letters for possible inclusion in The
Clematis should be addressed to:
The Editor, Mr B. Collingwood, 11 Mirfield Drive, Monton, Eccles, Manchester M30
9LH or by email to bcollingwood@ntlworld.com
At April 2008: we are really interested in members' (and
non-members') experiences of growing clematis successfully in your
garden, and how you've enjoyed them, in the UK and Overseas; we are
seeking opinions on the clematis books that have influenced you
mostly; we are definitely interested if you have a commentary about
any breeding of clematis that you have undertaken - raising from
seed or by deliberate cross-pollinations; we welcome all
views about the clematis you have particularly enjoyed in your garden, over the years, and why; we are interested in any
information you have about growing particular clematis species in
your garden; we are interested in hearing your story about raising
clematis in more-difficult climates (compared with the UK!); we are
interested in hearing life-long gardeners' views about clematis and
their place/uses in the garden; we are interested in your views
about supports and host plants for clematis; we would like to
receive information about YOUR experiences of European, and
European-derived clematis in the garden; Do you have native
clematis in your locality? We'd love to read a description of what
excites you about these native clematis, and/or whether you've
collected seed or taken cuttings; we'd like to promote fragrant
clematis - can you send us your thoughts about them?; and any other
interesting clematis-related topics.
If you wish
to send an article for possible publication the address is above,
or, if you prefer to set out thoughts or principles the material can
be expanded into article form or included in a collective article
(always with acknowledgement of your contribution).
Copy should
be presented on disc in Word format (or an email is fine) if possible but hand-written submissions, notes, queries
and letters also are most welcome.
Photos are
very welcome (images as large as possible)
- preferred as digital images in jpeg, tiff or other format.
Articles can be of any
length, 600 words (a couple of A4 pages) is suitable for a shorter article.
If submitting technical articles, please include detail and
