PLANTS FOR SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 319 



the south Atlantic states. On the other hand, very few of the plants 

 which are indigenous to this south Atlantic area will prove hardy when 

 used in the territory north of Washington. For instance, Hall's 

 climbing honeysuckle is one of the plants common to both the northern 

 zone and the southern zone, but in the southern territory this plant 

 produces a much more interesting development of foliage and of flowers 

 while in the northern zones the same plant suffers severely from winter- 

 killing of the small and more tender portions of its growth. There are 

 a few of our desirable northern types, such as lilacs, which adjust 

 themselves with extreme difficulty to the changed climatic conditions. 

 On the other hand, the hydrangea is grown with remarkable success 

 in the south.
