LONICERA. CLEMATIS. 441 



the place of ivy which, unfortunately for us in New Eng- 

 land, is not hardy. The foliage turns a rich dark purple in 

 the autumn. 



It is a rapid grower, is not attacked by insects, and is 

 altogether the best hardy foliage climber. 



LONICEBA. 



L. brachypoda aureo reticulata is a beautiful small leafed 

 species of honeysuckle, with leaves beautifully reticulated 

 with golden veins. 



At a distance it appears a mass of yellow, and is invalu- 

 able for growing with dark foliage vines. 



Although generally hardy this plant is sometimes winter- 

 killed, and therefore should have a sheltered situation and 

 be slightly protected in winter. 



THE CLEMATIS. 



When the first edition of this book was issued, there 

 were comparatively few Clematis in cultivation. 



The last three years have greatly added to the number, 

 until now it is difficult to make a selection where all are so 

 beautiful. 



The general treatment has been given in the previous 

 pages.
