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 rosmarinifoiius is a pretty shrub, but not quite 
hardy. The small white aster-]ike 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. 
Rhododendron praecox is a very attractive shrub, and well 
known. 
Yitis 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 knowm will be 
sure to be much more largely grown. 
Rubus biflorus, or the sometimes called “ Whitewashed 
Bramble,” is a tall-grow 7 ing 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, w 7 ith 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.
