PLANTS AGAINST WALLS 103 



Magnolia conspicua. Deciduous, with an end- 

 less profusion of white flowers in early spring. 



Wistaria sinensis Deciduous ; covered in June 

 with trailing bunches of mauve flowers, which are 

 succeeded by the pretty acacia-like leaves. 



Berberis Darwinii. This is a very beautiful shrub 

 which appreciates the protection of a wall, and pro- 

 duces a fine effect, with its shining dark foliage 

 and masses of orange-coloured flowers in June. 



Forsythia suspensa. Has drooping yellow 

 flowers in early spring, succeeded by handsome 

 bright-green foliage; it should be kept well cut 

 back after flowering. 



Jasminium midiflorum This also bears its 

 yellow blossoms before the leaves, and is very 

 valuable in making a display of cheerful colour in 

 the first months of the year. 



Jasminium officinale is the well-known sweet 

 white Jasmine. 



Jasminium revolutum. A delightful Jasmine, 

 with large yellow flowers, and evergreen leaves. 



Honeysuckle Lonicera. There are many 

 varieties of Honeysuckle, and they are all pretty ; 

 the golden-leaved variety, L. aurea reticulata, is 

 specially good as a climber.
