CLIMBERS. 143 



LoNicERA, Honeysuckle. — Hall's honeysuckle, with 

 its white or yellowish, very fragrant flowers is a favor- 

 ite plant, especially southward. The old-fashioned 

 climbing Trumpet honeysuckle, L. sempervirenSy is 

 very useful for neglected situations. 



Menispekmum Canadexse, Moon Seed. — A slen- 

 der, twining plant which makes a nice addition to a 

 collection. 



Tecoma, Trumpet Flower, or Trumpet Creeper. — 

 This is a most excellent plant where a somewhat way- 

 ward informality of habit is agreeable to the surround- 

 ings. Deserves more general use. 



Wistaria. — An old-time favorite. Useful in many 

 situations, but not sufficiently fresh and tidy in foliage 

 to come under constant close observation. 



ANNUAL CLIMBERS. 



Balloon Vine. — An old-time favorite, to be found 

 in all the old-fashioned gardens. The puffy, inflated 

 seed vessels which appear throughout the summer are 

 the most striking feature. 



EcHiNocYSTis LOBATA, Climbing Cucumber. — A 

 rapid-growing, luxuriant climber from the Ameri- 

 can woods, covered with garlands of white flowers 

 throughout the season. One of the best for common 

 planting. 



Hop Vine. — One of the most rapid growing and 

 useful climbers. It is one of the best annual plants for 

 covering verandas or other large areas. The "Varie- 

 gated-leaved Japan hop" is preferred by some, though 

 the effect is not always good. 



Maurandya. — Eather short climbers with abundant 

 white, pink or violet-purple blossoms. Suited to more 

 general use. 



MiNA. — A pretty and useful plant of the morning 

 glory family, but with small flowers and lobed leaves.
