NEW CLIMBING HYDRANGEA, 



(Seliizopliragma Hydrangeoides.)

 as clinging to trees to the height of fifty feet, producing cor- 

 ymbs of white flowers of the size of ordinary Hydrangeas. 

 It clings e.xactly like Ivy and one can imagine the effect of a 

 wall or tree so covered, while in full bloom. Like all Japan 

 plants of that character, it is entirely hardy.
