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, 

 etc., are covered with Climbers. In the adornment also of the flower garden, the hardier kinds are invaluable 

 ior covering arbours, verandahs, trellises, rustic fences, and forming elegant chains and festoons such as now 

 grace the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens at South Kensington.
