BEAUTY IN PERGOLAS y VERANDAHS 209 



argentea rubra, maderensis variegata, rhomboidea ovata, 

 variegata argentea and variegata elegantissima. 



The Winter-flowering Jasmine, nudiflorum, will not be 

 overlooked because of its pleasant habit of producing a 

 shower of bright yellow flowers during mild spells of 

 weather throughout the winter ; there is a yellow-leaved 

 variety named foliis-aureis. Officinale is the common 

 sweet, white, hardy Jasmine ; there is a yellow-leaved 

 variety of this also. 



Under the botanist's name Lonicera we find our fragrant 

 favourites the Honeysuckles. The common species is 

 Periclymenum, of which the Early Cream and the Early 

 Dutch are varieties. Brachypoda and flexuosa are pale 

 forms, highly perfumed, and in every way desirable. 

 The Gold-netted Honeysuckle, aureo-reticulata, is a 

 variety. Leaf-sprays of this pretty Honeysuckle look 

 charming in bowls when mixed with lemon, rose-tinted 

 Snapdragons. The white, winter-flowering, scented 

 Honeysuckles are fragrantissima and Standishi. These 

 are of shrubby habit, as is Maackii, which bears trumpet- 

 shaped flowers in clusters. 



The Passion Flowers, Passiflora caerulea and its white 

 variety Constance Elliott, will only thrive in mild 

 districts. 



Periploca graeca is an interesting and little-known 

 plant of some beauty, worth planting in a large collec- 

 tion. 



Polygonum Baldschuanicum is a remarkable twiner of 

 very rapid growth, which forms a fleecy mass of white 

 blossoms late in summer. Quite hardy, and admirable 

 for a pergola, an arch, a trellis or a summer-house, it is 

 making its way in spite of the handicap of a long name 

 difficult to pronounce. The accent of the generic name 

 is on the second of four syllables, thus : Pol-yg(ig)-o-num.
