tender, except for the garden, where they are highly 
prized. 
The Glycine or Wistaria (Wistaria pubescens) is a 
very beautiful climbing plant, and adds much to the 
gracefulness of trees, when trained so as to hang from 
.heir lower branches. The leaves are pinnate, and the 
light purple flowers, which bloom in loose clusters like 
those of the Locust, are universally admired. The 
Chinese Wistaria (W. sinensis) is a very elegant species 
of this plant, which appears to be quite hardy here ; and 
when loaded with its numerous large clusters of pendent 
blossoms, is highly ornamental. It grows rapidly, and, 
with but little care, will mount to a great height. These 
vines with pinnated foliage, would be remarkably 
appropriate when climbing up, and hanging from the 
branches of such light airy trees as the Three-thorned 
Acacia, the Locust, etc. 
We must not forget to enumerate here the charming 
family of the Honeysuckles ; some of them are natives of 
the old world, some of our own continent ; and all of them 
are common in our gardens, where they are universally 
prized for their beauty and fragrance. In their native 
localities they grow upon trees, and trail along the rocks. 
The species which ascends to the greatest height, is the 
common European Woodbine,* which twines around the 
stems, and hangs from the ends of the longest branches of 
trees : 
As Woodbine weds the plant within her reach, 
Rough Elm, or smooth-grained Ash, or glossy Beech, 
In spiral rings ascends the trunk, and lays 
Her golden tassels on the leafy sprays.” 
Cowper. 
* Woodbind is the original name, derived from the habit of the plant ol 
winding itself around trees, and binding the branches together.
