CLIMBING AND WALL PLANTS 123 



seen in several of the gardens of the East End 

 of London. They like good rich fibrous loam 

 in which to grow, and special care in breaking 

 up the surrounding ground is amply repaid 

 afterwards by increased vigour of growth. 

 The plentifully produced and brightly tinted 

 fruit renders this one of our most ornamental 

 berried shrubs. It requires to be nailed to the 

 wall and bears pruning well. 



THE EVERGREEN HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera 

 sempervirens) is also suitable for planting in 

 towns, but it will not succeed satisfactorily in 

 the most smoky localities. For suburban 

 districts it is peculiarly suited, and well estab- 

 lished specimens may be seen in many parts 

 of the great metropolis. A friable loam will 

 suit its wants with respect to soil, and nailing 

 to the wall is a necessity. For planting against 

 fences, the Evergreen Honeysuckle is a decided 

 acquisition. 



PRIVETS, particularly the Japanese, are often 

 used for wall covering in towns, where they 

 succeed admirably and soon cover a good width 

 of surface. They flower well in such a position.
