hedges; a variety of lilacs (Syringa), including the Rouen 
lilac, from China, the Pekin lilac, from southern China, 
the Himalayan lilac and the common lilac, a native of 
eastern Europe, so frequently cultivated in gardens, and 
the Foresiteras. Tothe right of the path and following the 
storax family is the logania family, with species of Buddleia, 
including the showy variable buddleia, from China. Fol- 
lowing this is the vervain family, and some of these shrubs 
are especially attractive in fruit, among them being the 
purple callicarpa, from China, and the Japanese callicarpa; 
most attractive is the late-flowering clerodendron, a Chi- 
nese plant, whose flowers have a delicious spicy fragrance, 
much like that of the sweet-pepper bush; the sepals are a 
beautiful rose color, while the corolla is creamy white; it 
blooms late in the summer or early fall, when flowers of 
shrubs are few. 
We next come to the potato family, shown here by the 
matrimony vine, a native of Europe, but often found 
growing wild, its purple flowers followed by bright red 
berries; most of the hardy representatives of this family 
are herbs, so must be sought for in the herbaceous grounds, 
while many of the woody species, and some of the herbs,, 
are tender, and may be found in the conservatories. The 
figwort family is shown in a single representative from the 
northwestern United States, Pentstemon Scouleri; many 
other representatives of this family are in the herbaceous 
grounds and the conservatories. The succeeding group is 
the honeysuckle family, to which is allotted a large area, 
there being many hardy kinds; the viburnums are repre- 
sented by many species, both from the Old World and the 
New, such as the cranberry-tree, from north temperate 
regions, ornamental by its masses of bright red fruit; the 
dwarf cranberry-tree, an exceedingly compact form, very 
dense in its growth; the Chinese viburnum, from China 
and Japan; Siebold’s viburnum, from Japan; the Japanese 
snowball, from China and Japan; the wayfaring tree, from 
Europe and Asia; and the woolly viburnum, from China and
