Running and Climbing Plants. 



That trellis roof, when it has the good fortune 

 to be removed to a terrace with a good exposure, 

 admits of being clad in a garment composed of 

 the most agreeable mixture of climbing and run- 

 ning plants, in place of the Irish ivy, which, in 

 the northern exposure, was its only covering. 

 Do not be afraid, ladies, to vary and multiply these 

 plants ; they will agree very well with each, 

 other ; each one will take its just share of air and 

 of sun ; each will bloom in its own proper time ; 

 vying with each other, in the most amicable 

 spirit possible, in their joint task of weaving over 

 your head the most charming canopy that can be 

 conceived. 



At the corners of your terrace plant honey- 

 suckles, clematis, Boursault roses, and Bougain- 

 ville, to which you may add the glycine of 

 China, and the Virginia creeper. Whilst climb- 

 ing up the pillars that sustain the arches of 

 the trellis, the buddleya and the clianthus will 

 feel entirely at home; nor will they be incom- 

 moded by the company of a tall hollyhock
