52 FLOWER-GARDENING. 



other kind in almost every particular except color, this being 

 a bright yellow. 



Lonicera pubescens, or Caprifolium pubescens, a large and 

 beautiful honeysuckle from the North-west coast ; the flowers 

 are large, and of a bright copper color, inclining to orange. 

 They are all perfectly hardy. 



Lonicera flexuosa, Chinese Honeysuckle, of late introduction ; 

 it is perfectly hardy, withstanding our most severe frosts with- 

 out the least injury ; it is a very sweet-scented honeysuckle, 

 grows rapidly, and to an immense height. It flowers in pairs 

 and threes all up the branches, covering the whole plant com-

Lonicera Japonica, or Japan Honeysuckle. This bears 

 flowers in great profusion, which are white, afterwards becoming 

 of a light yellow. It is not so hardy as the Chinese, and 

 requires a little protection in the winter. 



Passiflora, or Passion Vine. There are several hardy species, 

 but the best is the Passiflora incarnata ; this, although it dies 

 to the ground every winter, will, during the summer, grow 

 from twenty to thirty feet, and yield abundance of beautiful 

 purple flowers. 



Periplaca grceca, or Silk Vine. A prolific climber; wood 

 slender, twining, and elastic ; leaves smooth, ovate, lanceolate. 

 Established plants will grow thirty or forty feet in one season, 

 and yield flowers in clusters, of a brownish-yellow color, from 

 May to July. 



I shall only add to the above the running kind of Roses ; 

 although there are many other things which might be men- 

 tioned. 



Rosa multiflora, from China, is pretty well known, pro- 

 ducing thousands of small double red roses in bunches. It 

 requires a sheltered situation from some of our keen north- 

 westers. Rosa multiflora alba, from the same country, is of 

 late importation, but as it increases readily may be obtained 

 at about the same price as the former ; the bunches of flowers
