CLIMBERS. 



CHAPTEE XXI. 



THE wealth of climbing, creeping, and trailing plants 

 is very characteristic of the Riviera. Nothing strikes 

 us more if we compare these gardens with those of 

 our own country. When we take a house at home 

 we find some Ivy and a Virginian Vine (Ampelopsis) 

 upon the wall, and perhaps a Rose covering the 

 summer-house. You bring in from the hedgerow or 

 the coppice Travellers' Joy (Clematis), Hop, Honey- 

 suckle (Lonicera), Bryony, Bittersweet (S. dulcamara), 

 and Tamus, if you can get it to grow. Those who 

 care for annuals can sow the blood-red Trophywort 

 (Tropoeolum) and the tender Canariensis, food for snails.
