 flower in clusters, and are very fragrant ; the large-flowering varieties are 

 very handsome. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before 

 sowing ; hardy perennials. 



5576 Paniculata. (Japanese Virgin's Bower). This is one of the few 

 really good hardy climbers, and has so many merits, that in order 

 to bring it prominently to the notice of our customers, we have 

 chosen it as one of the subjects for our catalogue cover. Unlike 

 other sorts, it grows easily from seed, and sown early, will flower 

 the first year. The leaves are of a bright, glossy green, it is never 

 troubled with insect pests, and when in bloom astonishes with the 

 quantity of flowers, the plant being completely hidden beneath a 

 blanket of white hawthorne-scented blossoms ; a grand plant for 

 piazzas, fences, in fact, any position where a climber is wanted; 

 it is just the thing for covering terraces or embankments, does 

 equally well in sunshine or shadow, and stands unrivaled as a plant 



for the cemetery. (See cut) 10
