The Young Gardener . 
leaf-mould, like that which it would meet with 
under the frees in woods, and up against old 
walls, where heaps of leaves have laid till they 
have decayed, and if it were kept well watered, 
it would grow a great deal quicker — and cover 
all the frame-work in about half the time it takes 
when left alone. Have you ever noticed the pink 
China Roses growing amidst dark Ivy and peeping 
out here and there ? Even in the winter they will 
often look so pretty — and if any one should chance 
to have a tall Holly-tree, or an Ivy- grown wall, 
by which they can plant a flower, I much advise 
them to put in a China Rose — and some roots of 
great white Convolvolus, of the kind called Caly- 
stegia. 
Sweet Peas sown in-doors in January, and also 
Nasturtiums and Canariensis sown in the ground 
in autumn, will make a great show even the first 
year, and Cobea Scandens also being sown in-doors 
in pots may be grown quite spreading in time to 
plant out in May. 
Jessamines too and Honeysuckles do beautifully 
— indeed, the prettiest quite that I have ever seen 
of these trellised bowers have been covered with 
Ivy, with Roses, and Honeysuckles, and perhaps a 
Vine and Clematis, or White Jessamine.
