1988 Paniculata {Japanese Virgin's 



Bower). This is one of the few 



really good hardy climbers. The 



leaves are of a bright, glossy-green,

grand plant for piazzas, fences; in fact, any position where a 

 climber is wanted ; it is just the thing for covering 'terraces or em- 

 bankments, does equally well in sunshine or shade, and stands un- 

 rivaled as a plant for the cemetery 



ed from a magnificent collection of the
