Jasminum Officinalis {White Jasmine). — Not entirely hardy, requires southern ex- 

 posure, delicate and beautiful foliage and flowers, fragrant white, blooms in July, 



Loniceras. — A few sorts only of these are necessary to mention. 



L. Ilalleana {Hall's Jajyan Honeysuckle). — A strong and vigorous evergreen sort, with 

 flowers white, changing to yellow; very fragrant, and in profuse bloom from June ta 

 November. We consider this the best of the Honeysuckles, and most admirable for rock- 

 work, screens, walls, and fences. 



Lonicera reticulata {Golden Leaf Honeysuckle). — Leaves distinctly and finely veined 

 with fine golden lines, foliage small, and growth moderate, makes a beautiful bed or border 

 plant, as well as desirable for screens, and walls, hardy, and one of the most beautiful of 

 its species. 



Lonicera Semper virens {Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle). — Strong rapid grower, bloom- 

 ing all summer; flowers without fragrance, but this and its varieties have the handsomest 

 flowers of all the Honeysuckles. 



Lonicera Sinensis {Chinese Honeysuckle). — Dark green foliage which hangs very late, 

 blooms in July and September, and is very fragrant. A very popular sort. 



Periploca Grceca {Silk Vine). — A rapid growing beautiful climber, native of South- 

 ern Europe. Will twine around a tree thirty to forty feet high, foliage long narrow and 

 shining, flowers purplish brown, in clusters. 



Tecoma or Bignonia {Trunvpet Flower), — Strong growing showy flowers — scarlet 

 crimson and orange, good either for trailing or as standards. 



Wistaria Chinensis {Chinese Wistaria). — Rapid growing, and elegant, attaining an 

 immense size ; has long pendulous clusters of pale blue flowers in May or June, and in 

 Autumn ; it may be grown as a standard. 



Wistaria Chiyiensis Alba {Chinese White Wistaria). — The best white Wistaria, habit 

 not so strong as the blue, but fair grower, and blooms freely, a little tender when youngs 

 needs high culture and a little protection until well established. 



Wistaria Jiorepleno {Double Purple Wistaria). — A charming new variety with per- 

 fectly double flowers, deeper in colour than the single. The plant is perfectly hardy, and 

 like the Sinensis in habit. The most valuable of the Wistarias, and will be in great, 

 demand when better known, 



Wistaria Magnifica. — Flowers in dense drooping racemes, of the same size as the 

 Chinese, and of a pale lilac colour. Foliage of the same graceful habit as the American^ 

 Vigorous and hardy. 



Clematis Alontana. — A remarkably free growing Indian climber well adapted for trail- 

 ing over walls and trellises. The flowers are white with a dash of pink and tuft of straw- 

 coloured stamens ; sweet scented and very copious — the branches literally becoming con- 

 verted into floral garlands. 



Clematis Virginiana. — Another of the strong free growing sorts, having small frag- 

 rant white flowers, and excellent for screens and walls. 



We think these varieties of Clematis are deserving of more than a passing notice.. 

 At the time when the Virginia Creeper is turning its foliage, 0. Montana, and Virginiana 

 are in full bloom. They are quite as vigorous in growth as Virginia Creeper, covering 

 an immense surface, and the great profusion of their fragrant flowers, in the form of a 

 dense spray, make them remarkably beautiful. They are extremely hardy, enduring any 

 climate without injury. We can most safely recommend them to any who have walls 

 or screens, or unsightly places to cover, or who wish a hardy free growing beautiful 

 climber. 



The already long list of Clematis is being yearly increased by contributions from the 

 best English growers, most prominent of which are Geo. Jackman & Son, and Thos. Cupps 

 & Sons. 



Much attention seems to have been directed, and with considerable success to the
