ber of the privets, including the California privet so much 
used for hedges; a variety of lilacs (Syrznga), 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 adelias. To the right of the path and following the 
storax family is the logania family, with species of Buddleza, 
including the showy variable buddleia, from China. Follow- 
ing 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 Chinese 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 will be 
found at the conservatories. ‘The succeeding group is the 
honeysuckle family, to which is allotted a large area, there 
being many hardy kinds; the viburnums are represented by 
many species, both from the Old World and the New, such 
as the cranberry-tree, from north temperate regions, orna- 
mental by its masses of bright red fruit; the dwarf cran- 
berry-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; aad the woolly viburnum, from China and Japan; 
among American forms may be mentioned the arrow-wood, 
the coast arrow-wood, the black haw or sloe, the withe-rod, 
and the larger withe-rod with its large bunches of showy fruit. 
The group of the honeysuckles occupies a position across
