Plants for a Small Garden. 639 
2. Destitute of conspicuous Flowers, but having ornamental 
Poliage, and often showy Frwits—Hollies, variegated and green ; 
Aucubas, variegated and green; Tree Box, several varieties ; 
Phillyrea spp., Irish Yew, J uniperus Chinensis, Biota orien- 
talis ‘aurea (Golden Cypress), and other varieties, dwarf 
varieties of Thuja occidentalis (American Arbor Vite), Retino- 
spora spp., Cupressus Lawsoniana minima, and many other 
coniferous shrubs. Kalmia latifolia, Rhododendron hirsutum, 
Erica carnea, and Daphne Cneorum are dwarf flowering ever- 
green shrubs; the two latter are less than a foot high, and pro- 
duce their flowers in winter and spring respectively. 
In deciduous shrubs we confine ourselves to those with showy 
or fragrant flowers:—Lilacs various, including the Persian ; 
Philadelphus coronarius and grandiflorus (Mock Orange, Serin- 
gat), white; Pyrus Japonica, scarlet, rose, or white; Guelder 
Rose, white; Buddlea globosa, orange; Genista alba, white or 
pink; Spartium junceum, yellow; Ribes aureum, yellow; Ribes 
sanguineum, deep red; Azalea Pontica, great variety of 
colours ; Diervilla rosea and amabilis, rosy-purple; Magnolia 
purpurea, rosy-purple and white; Deutzia crenata, white ; and 
several species of Spirea with pink or deep rose-coloured 
flowers. We have not referred to the Roses in the list, but 
they are so universally known that nobody would forget to 
plant them as dwarf bushes on their own roots, as standards on 
the common Briar, and the climbing varieties for festoons and 
covering walls. 
We conclude our lists of shrubby plants with a few climbers, 
or such species as are suited for walls, trellises, archways, etc. 
Foremost amongst the deciduous class are various species and 
varieties of the genus Clematis. C. Flammula and C. montana 
are two of the hardiest of the small white-flowered species. 
The coloured varieties are very numerous, and every year adds 
to them. The White Jasmine, Passion-flower, Common Honey- 
suckle, Jasminum nudiflorum, Virginia Creeper, Pyrus Japonica, 
Wistaria Sinensis, and Climbing Roses make up a list sufficient 
for all purposes. The best of the evergreen class of shrubs for 
walls are Cotoneaster microphylla, Crategus Pyracantha, and 
various Ivies. 
It is an easy transition from these to the herbaceous climbers. 
We give a list of a few of the annual species, or those treated 
as such, all of which like a warm aspect (a more extensive 
list will be found a few pages forward): Tropwolum aduncum
