Lardizabala biternata requires a wall. It is a tall climbing 

 shrub with dark green persistent leaves, and bears purplish 

 flowers in drooping racemes in winter. 



Choisya ternata thrives remarkably well in this garden as in 

 many others in the island. If Mr. Ewbank were allowed to 

 grow only one shrub in his garden, this, he says, would be his 

 choice. 



Cistus, in variety, are grown. 



Limonia trifoliata, or hardy lemon, does well here. 



Neviusia alabamensis is sometimes grown in a greenhouse ; 

 but it thrives in the open air in this garden. 



Ozothamnus rosmarinifolius is a pretty shrub, but not quite 

 hardy. The small white aster-like flowers are so effective that 

 the plant is often called " Snow in Summer." 



Parrotia persica, well known for the lovely autumnal tints 

 displayed by the foliage when dying off, likes a warm situation 

 and a rather dry border. 



Ehododendron precox is a very attractive shrub, and well 

 known. 



Vitis heterophylla humulifolia should be grown against a 

 wall in a sunny place, so as to ripen its exquisite turquoise blue 

 berries, which are most attractive. 



Xanthoceras sorbifolia, a native of China, grows to a height 

 of about 15 ft. It is an extremely pretty flowering and most 

 handsome-leaved shrub, and as it becomes better known will be 

 sure to be much more largely grown. 



Kubus biflorus, or the sometimes called " Whitewashed 

 Bramble," is a tall-growing species with whitish spiny stems 

 and simple three-lobed leaves that are tomentose on the under 

 side. 



Rubus deliciosus is another beautiful plant from the Rocky 

 Mountains, and which likes moisture. 



Camellias grow luxuriantly and bloom profusely. 



Cercis siliquastrum, or " Judas Tree," thrives in a damp, 

 warm situation, and grows from 15 ft. to 20 ft. high. 



Chimonanthus fragrans, with its deliciously fragrant flowers, 

 produced in abundance in winter when, the plant is leafless, 

 seems thoroughly at home. 



Rhyncospermum jasminoides, though generally grown in a 

 greenhouse, seems quite hardy here.
