GROUP XIV. THE SWEET BRIAR. 



The Sweet Briar is a native species well-known to all lovers of plants from the 

 delicious fragrance of its leaves and the beauty of its bright scarlet fruit. It is also one 

 of our best hedge plants. The flowers of the varieties hitherto produced under cultiva- 

 tion are interesting, and are in some cases the result of hybridizing with other species. 



Nos. i to 4, 8 to 10, and 12 to 20, raised by the late Lord Penzance, also form 

 splendid hedges, and they lend themselves admirably to any style of growth, such as 

 pillar, arch, pergola, or isolated bushes.
