SHRUBBERIES AND FLOWER-GARDENS. ClIAP. 



344. COBEA, CLIMBING.Lat. Cobata Scandens. 

 Fr. Cobea Sarmenteux. A green-house climber, originally 

 from Mexico. Its branches will grow thirty or forty 

 yards in length, and it blows, in August and September, 

 a large and exceedingly handsome flower, which is at 

 first of a pale yellow, but afterwards violet. It is, 

 although a green-house plant, as hardy as the passion 

 flower, and, like that plant, will run over a great extent 

 of wall in one summer, blowing abundance of its mag- 

 nificent flowers, and ripening seeds in a pod of the size 

 of a walnut 5 then, if not very well protected from frost, 

 it will die down. But it is so easily procured either 

 from seeds, or cuttings, that no one need be long at a 

 loss, if his plant even perish during the winter. In 

 green-houses of small extent, it almost prevents your 

 having any thing else, so much room will it occupy in a 

 short time ; therefore it is generally seen in the larger 

 conservatories, where it makes a great show for two 

 months. 



345. CORIARIA, or MYRTLE-LEAVED SUMACH. 



Lat. Coriaria Myrtifolia. Fr. Redout ^ feuilles de myrte. 

 A hardy shrub from the south of Europe, that blows 

 in April. Propagated by suckers, and also by seed. 



346. CYPRESS-TREE. Lat. Cupressus Sempervirens. 

 Fr. Cypres commun. A hardy shrub from the Levant; 

 grows fifteen or twenty feet high, and blows a yellow 

 blossom in May. The wood is hard, and of a red colour, 

 with a very sweet scent. 



347. CYTISUS, or LABURNAM. Lat. Cytiws
