HARDY PICTORIAL TREES. 275 



Lonicera Periclymenum belgicum (the Dutch Honey- 

 suckle). A capital variety for common purposes, hardy 

 and free. 



Lonicera Brownii. This is perhaps the best of the 

 scarlet trumpet Honeysuckles. 



Passiflora carulea racemosa. A good plant for a wall 

 in a sheltered situation. Of other hardy Passion-flowers, 

 P. Colvillii and P. Neumanni are the best. 



Rosa. Of Climbing Roses the best for arches and 

 like purposes, where a rapid growth is required, are the 

 "Boursault" and " Sempervirens;" for walls or fences, the 

 vigorous kinds of "Noisette" and "Tea-Scented;" for 

 pillars, the vigorous kinds of " Hybrid Perpetual " and 

 " Hybrid Bourbon." 



Tecoma radicans major (the Trumpet Flower). 

 Flowers yellowish red : growth when established very 

 rapid. A magnificent plant for a south or east wall. Of 

 other hardy Tecomas, T. atrosanguineum (dark crimson) 

 and T. flava speciosa (yellow) are the best. 



Vitis (the Vine). Where masses of broad handsome 

 foliage are required there are no plants more beautiful 

 than certain kinds of the Vine : Coussi Noir, Castello de 

 Donello, and Muscat Noir de Jura are among the best, the 

 leaves changing in autumn to crimson, yellow, and scarlet. 

 Vitis apiifolia laciniata has beautifully cut leaves ; V. 

 labrusca foliis purpureis has leaves of a purple tint ; and 

 V. heterophylla variegata, leaves green, marbled with 

 white. 



Wistaria sinensis. This is the Queen of climbing 

 plants ; the growth is often slow for the first two or 

 three years, but when the plant becomes established the 

 growth is very rapid, often covering enormous spaces. 

 The flowers are pale blue, produced in clusters in the way 

 of the Laburnum.
