are good kinds : Meg Merrilies, rich crimson ; Lady 

 Penzance, soft copper ; Brenda, blush ; Julie Mannering, 

 delicate pink ; Minna, white j Anne of Geierstein, deep 

 crimson ; Jeannie Deans, semi-double, vivid crimson ; 

 Rose Bradwardine, clear rose. 



Clematis. There are but few positions in which these 

 will not appear charming. Porches, arbours, trellis and 

 pergola all look lovely when wreathed with some of the 

 new hybrids ; whilst the Traveller's Joy (C. Vitalba) 

 forms beautiful garlands among the branches of the 

 larger trees. C. montana, with its myriad white blossoms, 

 is one of the best for the house. C. Jackmanii, with 

 purple flowers, looks well among the grey oaken beams 

 of the pergola, but neither this nor other of the mauve 

 and violet kinds show to advantage near red walls. 

 Among the hybrids are Beauty of Worcester, Duchess 

 of Edinburgh, Mme. Edouard Andre, Jackmanii alba, 

 Miss Bateman, Stella, and Belle of Woking, all beautiful. 

 The Scarlet Clematis (C. coccinea) is very pretty and 

 distinct, but a warm sheltered position is essential to its 

 well-being. The flowers are bell-shaped, the sepals 

 fleshy, and the colour a rich carmine scarlet. 



Lonicera. Honeysuckle. Fragrant climbers for trellis 

 or pergola. They also look well twining among the 

 branches of trees with dark foliage. A sunny, open 

 position suits them best. L. Japonica, with leaves some- 

 what like the oak, is a pretty form, quite hardy ; the 

 variety aureo-reticulata, with leaves overlaid with a net- 

 work of gold, is also beautiful. A warm wall is needed 

 for L. sempervirens, with handsome tubular flowers in 

 shades of scarlet and yellow. The winter flowering 

 kind, fragrantissima, with white flowers, is sweetly 

 scented. An early bloomer. 



Jasminum. J. officinale, the White Jasmine, is a quick 

 grower, soon covering an arbour, for which position it 

 is perhaps best suited. Nudiflorum should be grown on
