It is somewhat tender ; nevertheless, it will grow and flower freely against 
an open wall in the neighbourhood of London ; and the extraordinary fra- 
grance of its flowers, which are produced in the greatest abundance, well 
entitles it to a place in every collection.

Perhaps the most valuable species of the genus, next to the indigenous 
one. It is nearly evergreen, apparently as hardy as the common woodbine, 
and of far more robust habit of growth; and, probably, a much longer- 
lived plant. Its flowers, which are produced for several months together, are 
exceedingly fragrant ; and, by pruning and watering, it may be kept in flower 
in the open garden from April to November, and in a conservatory through- 
out the year. No garden whatever, whether large or small, should be without 
this species. Intending purchasers of this species will find that plants in pots 
are much to be preferred, though they are one half dearer ; because, if they
