NEW HARDY CLIMBER. 
'I'tlK I'AMTAS .LILY, OF 'I'lIK VALLEY. 
WI THANIA ORIGANIFOLIA- A native of the I’ainpasof South America, is a p“rentiiul, 
perfectly hardy in England. Its herbaceous, slender difl'usely-branchcd stems are anunnl, and atlain 
in a feiv months 20 to 30 fe it in height, covering a large surface ; the small, ileine. dark green very 
elegant foliage, which defies dust, tlkseases, and insects, produces a thick, impem trab'.c shade 
persistent until frosts. It is enhanced by thousands of small white flowers, sim lar in shape to those 
of onr native Lily of the Valley, which are occasionally succeeded by small white or red-orange 
coloured berries. 
It is undoubtedly one of the best and finest' climbers to introduce in the gir.len, and is of the 
greatest value for covering summer-houses, pillars, walls, trellis, sloping banks, bare trunks of trees, 
balconies, &c., it succeeds ns well in the smoky atmosphere of towus as in the country, and will be 
most welcomed for planting at the sea-side, thriving admira'dy where most other climbers fail. 
In .short, it is a most valuable plant on account of the luxuriant growth, without the drawback of 
planting or sowing every year as with anmia's. 
It undergoes our sharpest winters as well lus our warmest summers, and delights in g.iod .soil and 
exposed positions. It is of the easiest culture, and its perennial roots, when est 'blis'.ied, may 
remain imlefinitely in the stms place, care being taken to remove the stems when they are destroyed 
by frost, l.s. lid.
