AND GUIDE TQ THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



ORNAMENTAL CLIMBERS. 



" That delicate flower, 

 With scented breatli, and look so like a sinilo, 

 Seems, as it issues from the shapeless mould. 

 An emanation of the indwelling Life, 

 A visiWe token of ihc upholding I.ovc, 

 That arc the soul of this wide universe."— Beyant. 



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

 assigned to it. 



No glass erection, whether conservatory, greenhouse, or stove, can be considered furnished 

 unless tlie walls, pillars, &c., are covered with Climbers ; some arc of such rapid growth that the 

 largest space may be covered in a season, while the less vigorous and more elegant kinds produce 

 their flowers in the greatest profusion, and are suitable for growing in pots, and training upon orna- 

 mental wire-work, &e. ; when well managed many of these make specimen plants of the most strikingly 

 beautiful description. — Of such kinds our list is rich. In the adornment of the flower-garden, the 

 hardier kinds are invaluable for covering arbours, verandahs, trellises, rustic fences, &c.
