104 FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE OF SUMMER. 



I must not leave the summer lawn without dwelling 

 briefly on the charms of various climbers at this season. 

 The Akebia quinata, neat and 

 elegant all summer, is never 

 apparently more so, it may be 

 by contrast, than in August. 

 Ampelopsis tricmpidata, with 

 shining leaves and rootlets cling- 

 ing to stone or wooden walls, is 

 bright as ever, and seemingly 

 more vigorous in late 

 summer. The broad, 

 massive, strange- J 

 looking leaves of the 'M 

 Dutchman's pipe 

 are very effec- 

 tive now, and <J^ 



several clematises, yellow apii- ^B 

 folia, white sweet-scented flam- ^^ 

 mula, greenish-white 6r/'ahamn, 

 the old-fashioned Virginiana, all 

 clothe during summer their near- 

 est support with thick masses of 

 leaves and flowers. 



The honeysuckles are fresh 

 and pleasing all summer, espe- 

 cially when climbing over stumps 

 or rocks and hillsides, and in sev- 

 eral instances, such as those of sempermrens and sinensis, 

 throughout the season. Menispermum Catiadense, the 



DUTCHMAN'S PIPE. 

 (ARISTOLOCHIA SIPHO.) 



SWEET-SCENTED CLEMATIS. 

 (CLEMATIS FLAMMULA.)
