are good kinds :—Meg Merrilies, rich crimson; Lady 
Penzance, soft copper; Brenda, blush ; Julie Mannering, 
delicate pink ; Minna, white; Anne of Geierstein, deep 
crimson; Jeannie Deans, semi-double, vivid crimson; 
Rose Bradwardine, clear rose. 
Clematis. —There are but few positions in which these 
will not appear charming. Porches, arbours, trellis and 
pergola all look lovely when wreathed with some of the 
new hybrids; whilst the Traveller’s Joy (C. Vitalba) 
forms beautiful garlands among the branches of the 
larger trees. C. montana, with its myriad white blossoms, 
is one of the best for the house. C. Jackmanii, with 
purple flowers, looks well among the grey oaken beams 
of the pergola, but neither this nor other of the mauve 
and violet kinds show to advantage near red walls. 
Among the hybrids are Beauty of Worcester, Duchess 
of Edinburgh, Mme. Edouard Andre, Jackmanii alba, 
Miss Bateman, Stella, and Belle of Woking, all beautiful. 
The Scarlet Clematis (C. coccinea) is very pretty and 
distinct, but a warm sheltered position is essential to its 
well-being. The flowers are bell-shaped, the sepals 
fleshy, and the colour a rich carmine scarlet. 
Lonicera.—Honeysuckle. Fragrant climbers for trellis 
or pergola. They also look well twining among the 
branches of trees with dark foliage. A sunny, open 
position suits them best. L. Japonica, with leaves some- 
what like the oak, is a pretty form, quite hardy; the 
variety aureo-reticulata, with leaves overlaid with a net- 
work of gold, is also beautiful. A warm wall is needed 
for L. sempervirens, with handsome tubular flowers in 
shades of scarlet and yellow. The winter flowering 
kind, fragrantissima, with white flowers, is sweetly 
scented. An early bloomer. 
Jasminum.—J. officinale, the White Jasmine, is a quick 
grower, soon covering an arbour, for which position it 
is perhaps best suited. Nudiflorum should be grown on
