ORNAMENTAL CLIMBERS AND TWINERS. 



This is an important section of our Catalogue, and fully merits the prominent position assigned 

 to it, as no glass erection, whether conservatory, greenhouse, or stove, can be considered furnished 

 unless the walls, pillars, &c, are covered with Climbers. In the adornment also of the flower garden, 

 the hardier kinds are invaluable for covering arbours, verandahs, trellises, rustic fences, and elegant 

 chains such as now grace the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens at South Kensington.
