288 HAEDT CLIMBING SHRUBS. 



Yellow Trumpet. — ^Differs from the foregoing oDly in the 

 color of the flowers, which are light yellow throughout. 



Monthly Fragrant. — A very sweet-scented vaxiety, blooming 

 all summer, flowers white, changing to straw color. 



Halleana. — Pure white flowers, which in time change to 

 yellow, very sweet scented, and produced in great profusion from 

 June to l!^ovember. 



Japan Golden-veined. — The leaves are very prettily veined 

 "with yellow, flowers perfumed, habit of growth slender and 

 delicate. 



Wistaria, or GLYcmE. — These most beautiful climbing 

 shrubs will no doubt require protection in winter in those parts 

 of the Dominion where the Peach tree does not flourish. In 

 Nova Scotia they require to be grown in very sheltered situa- 

 tions ; and where the climate is too severe for them to remain 

 on the trellis all winter, they can be taken down, thrown on the 

 ground, and if the snow cannot be depended upon to protect 

 them, covered with leaves or straw. They require a well-drained 

 soil that is moderately rich ; in soils too damp, or if over-fed, 

 the flower-buds are more likely to be injured by the winter. 

 The flowers appear in spring just before the leaves, in racemes of 

 about ten inches in length, hanging like bunches of grapes, in 

 hundreds of clusters. While young it does not blossom abun- 

 dantly, but as soon as it has become well established, it will 

 bloom with increasiug fulness from year to year. Where it does 

 not require winter protection it can be made to assume the form 

 of a tree, by training it to a stake of the desired height, and not 

 allowing it to find any further support. After a time the stem 

 will become stout enough to be self-supporting, when the stake 

 may be removed. The plant finding nothing further to climb 

 upon, will eventually give up trying, and make a pretty round- 

 headed shrub. In August they usually blossom a second time, 

 but not near as profusely as in the spring. 



Chinese. — Grows very rapidly, and will cover a very large 

 space ; produces large hanging clusters of pale blue flowers.
