302 TREES AND SHRUBS 



gated Japan Honeysuckle, L. japonica aureo-reticulata, 

 should not be planted much ; its small, green, yellow- 

 netted leaves are pretty, but one quickly tires of their 

 colouring. Z. etrusca, orange yellow, and L. flava^ 

 which must have a warm place, may also be men- 

 tioned. Certain species are quite bushy in growth. 

 Z. tomentella has small pink flowers in July. Z. 

 fragrantissima blooms in winter and is a delightful 

 wall Honeysuckle ; its small white flowers are very 

 fragrant. L. Standishii is also sweet scented. A plant 

 or two of either kind near the windows is very 

 pleasant on sunny winter days. Z,. tatarica, another 

 bushy Honeysuckle, has rose-coloured flowers in 

 early summer. 



LOPHOSPERMUM SCANDENS. A slender, pink- 

 flowered climber, but only for warm wall. 



MAGNOLIA. M. grandiflora is generally grown 

 against a wall. The large, glossy, green leaves and 

 big, creamy, fragrant flowers are very handsome. 

 M. conspicua I have also seen very beautiful against 

 a wall, a mass of white in late spring. The flowers 

 in this position are less likely to get damaged by 

 frost and rain. Its varieties may be used in the 

 same way, but the type is the best. 



OLEARIA. 



PASSIFLORA C^ERULEA. Few climbing plants are 

 more fascinating than the blue Passion Flower. It 

 is, with its bluish flowers and orange, egg-shaped 

 fruit, most happy against a warm wall, and is not the 

 hardiest of climbers. The white variety, Constance 

 Elliot, should be grown also.
