SHRUBS, 247 
suffruticose plant Paonia Moutan requires a sheltered posi- 
tion in the shrubbery, where, in May and June, its flowers 
excel all others in magnificence. Two. species of Garrya, 
from the higher parts of Mexico, have of late been added 
to our choice evergreen shrubs. G. elliptica flowers in 
winter, if the season be open, and succeeds well if trained 
against a south wall; its male catkins are long, and hang 
down very gracefully, so that the plant forms a fine accom- 
paniment to the Laurustinus. G. laurifoliais equally har- 
dy, and forms a handsome shrub. From the list published 
by Mrs. Loudon, any one might form such a collection as, 
when properly arranged, would produce all the variety and 
beauty expected from the shrubbery. 
There are many fine climbling shrubs, such as the spe- 
cies of Clematis, particularly grandiflora and Sieboldtii, 
and of Lonicera or honeysuckle; the Passiflora coerulea, 
with its curious and beautiful flowers; and Aristolochia 
Sipho, remarkable for the size and elegance of its foliage. 
Others, though not precisely of this class, are much he- 
holden to the shelter of a wall, such as the Cercis siliquas- 
trum, or Judas-tree, and Edwardsia tetraptera and micro- 
phylla. Among those of recent introduction into England 
may be noticed Leycesteria formosa, Glycine Sinensis, 
Eccremocarpus scaber, and Sollya heterophylla. Some 
herbaceous creepers succeed admirably, when trained 
against a wall in the open garden; particularly Maurandia 
semperflorens and Barclayana, and Lophospermum scan- 
deds and erubescens. ‘The numerous species or varieties 
of Fuchsia, when planted against the wall, or even in the 
open ground, and protected with an occasional covering in 
winter, convey to us a better idea of the riches of Chilian 
vegetation than when they are confined to the shelves of 
the green-house. Among the more ornamental hardy
