In training, the best plan, both for expedition, neatness, and 

 utiUty, is to tie the plants to a wire trellis, instead of training them 

 to the wall himself. Upright wires, about five feet asunder, should 

 be fastened by hooks to the wall, to serve as supports for smaller 

 wires placed horizontally a foot apart, and fastened to the upright 

 ones. 



In planting, evergreen plants should be mixed with those which 

 are deciduous, and attention should be paid to their arrangement 

 as to height, time of flowering, and the space on the wall each would 

 be likely to occupy. Those of a low-growing habit should be planted 

 so as to fill up the spaces between those which soon grow to the top 

 of the wall, and are bare at bottom. Salvia fulgens and splendens, 

 and Chrysanthemums turned out of pots, are very suitable for plant- 

 ing between tall plants, and flowering as they do at a late period, 

 they serve to relieve the otherwise desolate appearance of the garden 

 at the close of the year. Tea-scented Roses and Fuchsias are also 

 useful for filling up with ; some Camellias, protected a little in winter 

 and spring, grow and flower well on such walls. 



In the following list I have placed the plants in three classes : 

 one for a wall with flues, and curtains drawn across, &c. ; another 

 for a wall that would require no protection but Spruce boughs and 

 Fern ; and from these I have distinguished a third, comprising some 

 good hardy plants, well adapted for a wall, and requiring no protec- 

 tion. Those that are most tender, and require the most protection, 

 are — 



Abutilon striatum. 

 Azalea indica alba. 



„ ,, phoenicea. 



Aristolochia Sipho. 

 Amphicoma arguta. 

 Acacia juniperina. 



„ affinis. 



„ dealbata. 

 Brugmansia sanguinea. 

 Billardiera longifolia. 

 Brachysema undulatum. 

 Callistemon rigidum. 



Callistemon salignum. 

 Corraea speciosa. 

 Calistachys lanceolata. 

 Clianthus puniceus. 

 Ceanothus azureus. 



„ divaricatus. 

 Daviesia latifolia. 

 Eutaxia myrtifolia. 

 Goodia latifolia. 

 Grevillea rosmarinifolia. 

 Habrothamnus fascicu- 

 latus. 



Hibbertia volubilis. 

 Illicium Floridanum. 

 Lagerstrsemia indica. 

 Plumbago capensis. 

 SoUya heterophylla. 

 Tropaeolum pentaphyl- 



lum. 

 Veronica salicifolia. 

 Ruscus androgynus. 

 Westringia rosmasini- 



folia. 



In the north of England, and in Scotland, all the above, or nearly 

 so, will require a little assistance from flues gently heated ; while in 

 the south of England, and the greater part of Ireland, a slight pro- 

 tection with mats. Fern, or Spruce branches will be sufficient. The 

 following are less tender, requiring no protection in the south, and 

 only a slight covering of curtains, Fern, or Spruce during the winter 

 in the north. 



Aloysia citriodora. 

 Bignonia radicans. 

 Chimonanthus grandiflo- 



rus. 

 Clematis Sieboldii. 



,, azurea grandiflora. 



„ florida, single and 

 double. 



Coronilla glauca. 

 Daphne odora. 



„ indica rubra. 

 Fabiana imbricata. 

 Forsythia viridissima. 

 Fuchsia coccinea. 



„ gracilis. 

 Jasminum nudiflorum. 



Myrtus communis, var- 

 iatifolia and angusti- 

 folia. 



Olea fragrans. 



Passiflora cerulea.
