CLIMBING AND OTHER PLANTS - continued . 
Ceanothus — continued. 
69 Veitchianus (e*), rich deep blue 
flowers in dense terminal clusters. 
1/6 to 2/6 each. 
Though generally grown in a cold 
conservatory these beautiful shrubs 
are sufficiently hardy for light, 
warm, dry soils in a sunny ex- 
posure. They form lovely wall 
plants, and are profuse and often 
continuous bloomers. They should 
be pruned in April; the branches 
required for filling in being simply 
topped, all the others shortened 
to three eyes if strong, to one if 
weak. 
CLEMATIS, see pages 106 to 103.

119a japonlcus variegatus, a fast growing

prettily variegated with silvery 
white, yellow and green; highly 
ornamental. Plants in spring, 6d. 
each, 4/6 and 6/- per doz.

vigorous twining perennial. 6d. 
and 9d. each, 4/6 and 6/- per doz. 
119 follls aureis { The Golden Hop).

ful golden colour. Charming for 
verandahs, trellises, &c. ; quite 
hardy. 9d. and 1/- each, 6/- and 
9/- per doz. 
HYDRANGEA 
120 scandens {syn. Schizophragma hydran- 
geoides) (*). The Climbing Hydran- 
gea. Flowers white or flesh, in 
heads 6 in. across. 9d., 1/- to 1/6 
each. 
IVY, see pages 109 and 110. 
JASMINUM 
124 fruticans, a hardy evergreen shrubby 
species producing clear yellow 
■ flowers; very ornamental. 9d. and 
1/- each. 
125 nudiflorum, yellow flowers in great 
abundance during winter; grows 
rapidly and thrives in almost any 
situation. 9d., 1/- to 1/6 each, 6/-, 
9/- and 12/- per doz. 
126 fol. aureus, golden variegated 
form of preceding. 9d., 1/- to 1/6 
each. 
129 officinale, white, sweet-scented; de- 
servedly popular on account of its 
sweetness, vigour, and comparative 
indifference to soil and exposure. 
9d., 1/- to 1/6 each, 7/6, 9/- and 
12/- per doz. 
130 majus, a stronger grower 
than the type, and flowers double 
the size. 9d., 1/- to 1/6 each. 
131 primulinum, a species introduced 
from China. In general appear- 
ance the flowers, which are bright 
yellow in colour, resemble those of 
J . nudiflorum, but are much larger. 
They are also developed at the same 
time as the leaves, from the axils 
of which the bright yellow flowers 
are produced. This is an extreme- 
ly beautiful species that will un- 
doubtedly become very popular. 
The fact of it being an evergreen 
is a great point in its favour. 9d., 
1/- to 1/6 each, 6/-, 9/- to 12/- per doz. 
133 revolutum (e*), an evergreen variety 
with bright golden-yellow flowers, 
hardy enough for wall culture. 9d.,
