end in a long sharp point. The flowers are produced at the 

 end of the shoots of the same year, in large bunches ; they 

 liave long swelling tubes shaped somewhat like a trumpet, 

 whence this plant has the appellation of Trumpet-flower. 

 The corolla is orange. 



This climbing shrub possesses peculiar attractions. The 

 splendour of the large and numerous panicles of flowers of 

 various shades of pink and orange with whicli it is adorned 

 during the month of August, is sufficient to call forth the ad- 

 miration of the lover of the flower-garden. The luxuriant 

 growth of its branches will be found serviceable for the pur- 

 pose of obscuring offensive walls, particularly if intermixed 

 with climbing evergreens; the flowers of many of which, 

 being much less showy, are nearly lost at the height to which 

 these plants are at times required to be trained. The splendid 

 flowers of the B. radicans will therefore enhance the value of 

 such collections of climbers; and the flowers of each shrub 

 will add materially to the delicacy, beauty, and brilliancy of 

 each other. 



This shrub is a native of North America, and was intro- 

 duced in le^O. It is hardy, and may be propagated by 

 layers or by pieces of the root : these should be put in about 

 the beginning of April. The roots should be kept in pots for 

 one year, when they may be planted out. A light sandy earth 

 will be found most congenial to the growth of this shrub, 

 M'hich should be planted against a south or south-east wall. 



This figure was drawn from a flourishing specimen which 

 flowered abundantly against the garden wall at Claremont.
