208 THE NEW GARDENING 



particularly good plant, and its many admirers will take 

 note of the new varieties rubens and Wilsoni, the former 

 rosy red, the latter white, but larger than the type and 

 blooming later. Among garden hybrids may be named 

 Beauty of Worcester, violet-blue ; Belle of Woking, 

 silvery, double ; Duchess of Edinburgh, white, double, 

 sweet ; Fairy Queen, flesh, pink bar ; Jackmanii superba, 

 violet ; J. G. Veitch, lavender ; La Lorraine, rose ; 

 Madame Edouard Andre, red ; Mrs. Hope, mauve ; 

 Star of India, plum, red bar ; and Venus Victrix, pale 

 lavender. 



Actinidia chinensis is a new climber with heart-shaped 

 leaves and yellow flowers borne freely on the ripened 

 wood, which may be planted for variety on a large 

 pergola. 



Akebia quinata is an older plant with quaint purplish 

 flowers borne in racemes from the axils of the leaves, and 

 scented. 



Ampelopsis Veitchii is best suited to a wall, where its 

 dark-leaved form purpurea may also be grown. But it 

 could be used for a verandah. 



Aristolochia sipho, the Dutchman's pipe, is hardy, 

 and may be selected. 



Berberidopsis corallina is a charming evergreen with 

 crimson flowers at the ends of the branches, suitable for 

 a sheltered trellis or a south wall. 



The Ivies (Hedera) are commonly restricted to walls, 

 but they may also be remembered for planting against 

 trelliswork where a thick evergreen screen is wanted. 

 None grows faster than the Irish, Hedera Helix canarien- 

 sis, of which two good forms are available in latifolia 

 maculata and grandifolia variegata. The giant-leaved 

 species dentata and its variegated form are best on walls. 

 Pretty small-leaved Ivies are to be found in the varieties
