Climbers for the Littl Garden 
flower at the same time. An old favourite of mine is 
Duchess of Edinburgh, which is a very fine double 
white, and amongst the single whites Anderson’s Hen- 
teyii is, to my mind, still the best. Of course there 
are many others, lilac grey, violet purple, silvery lilac, 
mauve, and many other exquisite shades that answer 
Ruskin’s definition of the more beautiful colours as 
those that can neither be named nor adequately 
described. I have not named one hundredth part of 
the many beautiful climbers that can be used in the 
little garden to cover ugly fences, beautify uninterest- 
ing buildings, festoon across shady walks, and some 
that will, like Clematis montana, climb a tree and fall 
in profuse cascades of starry white flowers from its 
branches ; but those I have mentioned will give an 
idea of the right directions in which to seek any other 
varieties that may be required.
