 nnless the walls, pillars, &c., are covered with Climbers ; some are 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 jwts, arid training upon orna- 

 mental wire-work, &c. ; when well managed many of these make si)ecinien plants of the inost strikingly 

 beautiful description. — OF such kinds our list is rich with exquisite species and varieties. In the • 

 adornment of tiie flower garden, the hardier kinds are invaluable for covering arbours, verandahs, 

 trellises, rustic fences, &c.
