 among the foregoing, such as the 

 best climbing Tropeeolums, Ipo- 

 mieas, Convolvulus, Mina lobata, 

 Rhodochiton volubile, and many 

 others. The taller plants over 

 which these are allowed to clam- 

 ber mubt be carefully selected, 



however, and be those which can

 Note. — The backing of this 



border (Nos. 1 to 32) has, like the 

 rest of this plan, been here com-

 But it were better composed wholly

 or to shelter on that side in winter 

 and spring the other occupants of 

 the border. 



Comparison of the backing 

 used in this (autumn) border with 

 that in the preceding (spring) bor-
