of Ivy in the open air, we have reduced our long list 
to a single one, the well-known Irish form of the 
English Ivy. The Ivies are mostly hardy in sheltered 
spots and grow freely. The evergreen leaves form the 
chief attraction of this old, well-known genus.

ous-growing evergreen vine, with large deep glossy

gions of the Old World. They are either shrubs or 
climbing vines, with white or yellow flowers, generally 
quite fragrant. Some species are entirely too tender 
for the northern states, although a few will succeed 
with adequate protection. 
J. nudiflorum. Naked-Flowering 'Jessamine. A 
reasonably hardy species, blooming very early in 
spring, in advance of the foliage. Its wealth of 
rich, golden yellow flowers makes it very showy. 
Although not a true climbing vine, it is excellent for 
training over trellises, etc. 
J. officinale. Common IE kite Jessamine. Only par¬ 
tially hardy at the north, except in warm, sheltered 
situations. It is a vigorous grower, with long, 
slender green shoots and a profusion of pure white,
