394 APPENDIX. 



123. JtBiGNONiA GRANDIFLORA. 



A variety from China, but not so rapid in its growth ; a fine 

 climber. The flowers are large, and more in the form of a bell 

 than trumpet, and of a fine flame color. Both are very showy and 

 beautiful. 



124. JJCHINESE GLYCINE. Gtydne sinensis, or Wistaria conse- 

 quana. 



A beautiful vine, of rapid and very extended growth ; the flowers 

 are very numerous, in long clusters, or racemes, of a purple color ; a 

 magnificent flowering plant from China, and perfectly hardy on 

 hills and elevated situations near Boston. 



125. {{CLUSTER FLOWERING GLYCINE. Glycine frutescens. 

 This appears to be of more vigorous growth than the Chinese, in 



our climate; a very rapid growing vine, the flowers of a deep 

 purple color, and in long clusters, or racemes, of a beautiful appear- 

 ance; a native of the Southern States, but hardy. 



126. ftlvY, EVERGREEN, or IRISH BROAD-LEAVED GIANT IVY- 

 Hedera helix. 



This, perhaps, is one of the most beautiful of all plants for covering 

 arbors and walls. I suspect, however, our summers are too warm 

 for it. On the north sides of buildings alone, I have observed, it 

 flourishes in unfading beauty. 



127. { VIRGINIA IVY, or American Ivy. Cissus Tiederacea. 



A remarkably rapid growing vine, and eminently calculated for 

 covering walls, &c. ; the leaves are large and palmated, changing 

 in autumn to a fine crimson. This ivy is deciduous. 



128. ROSES. Climbing varieties. 



1. ftBouRSAULT. Maheka. A beautiful running rose, and the 

 strongest and most rapid growing rose of all in northern climates.

 spring, and occasionally during summer. The blossoms are double, 

 of a deep crimson dye.
