no flowers next year. It may be raised from seed, 

 but seedlings vary greatly. 



CHOISYA TERN ATA( Mexican Orange Flower). Very 

 vigorous, shrubby, glossy, green-leaved plant ; rather 

 tender, but quite happpy in northern gardens if not 

 very exposed. Its clusters of flowers are very sweet 

 and white. 



CLEMATIS (see p. 303). 



COTONEASTER (see p. 8o). 



DIERVILLA. May be grown against fences and 

 even walls, but are better against the former. I saw a 

 fence covered with the crimson-flowered Eva Rathke 

 in a London garden, and flowered abundantly every 

 year. 



ECCREMOCARPUS SCABER. Climber for wall, arch, 

 or pergola, with reddish flowers. Protect the roots 

 by coating the soil above them with ashes or some 

 protective material. 



EDWARDSIA (SOPHORA) TETRAPTERA. This is 

 called the New Zealand Laburnum. A tree in its 

 own country, but a shrubby wall plant here. Grandi- 

 flora is the best variety. 



ESCALLONIA (see p. 385). 



FUCHSIA. The hardy Fuchsias are almost un- 

 known, though amongst the most beautiful of hardy 

 shrubs. My favourite is F. Riccartoni, but this often 

 makes a good hedge. Very charming also are 

 F. coccinea, F. corymbtflora, F* globosa, F. macrostetnma, 

 F. microphylla, F. splendens, and F. thymifolia. 



HABLITZIA TAMNOIDES. Better, perhaps, for arch, 

 pergola, or tree stump than a wall, but in some cases
