hedges; a variety of lilacs (Syringa), including the Rouen 

 lilac, from China, the Pekin lilac, from southern China, 

 the Himalayan lilac and the common lilac, a native of 

 eastern Europe, so frequently cultivated in gardens, and 

 the Forestieras. To the right of the path and following the 

 storax family is the logania family, with species of Buddleia, 

 including the showy variable buddleia, from China. Fol- 

 lowing this is the vervain family, and some of these shrubs 

 are especially attractive in fruit, among them being the 

 purple callicarpa, from China, and the Japanese callicarpa; 

 most attractive is the late-flowering clerodendron, a Chi- 

 nese plant, whose flowers have a delicious spicy fragrance, 

 much like that of the sweet-pepper bush; the sepals are a 

 beautiful rose color, while the corolla is creamy white; it 

 blooms late in the summer or early fall, when flowers of 

 shrubs are few. 



We next come to the potato family, shown here by the 

 matrimony vine, a native of Europe, but often found 

 growing wild, its purple flowers followed by bright red 

 berries; most of the hardy representatives of this family 

 are herbs, so must be sought for in the herbaceous grounds, 

 while many of the woody species, and some of the herbs, 

 are tender, and may be found in the conservatories. The 

 figwort family is shown in a single representative from the 

 northwestern United States, Pentstemon Scouleri; many 

 other representatives of this family are in the herbaceous 

 grounds and the conservatories. The succeeding group is 

 the honeysuckle family, to which is allotted a large area, 

 there being many hardy kinds; the viburnums are repre- 

 sented by many species, both from the Old World and the 

 New, such as the cranberry-tree, from north temperate 

 regions, ornamental by its masses of bright red fruit; the 

 dwarf cranberry-tree, an exceedingly compact form, very 

 dense in its growth; the Chinese viburnum, from China 

 and Japan; Siebold's viburnum, from Japan; the Japanese 

 snowball, from China and Japan; the wayfaring tree, from 

 Europe and Asia; and the woolly viburnum, from China and
