HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS, 
Roses are good climbers. Carmine Pillar 
is a beautiful single climbing rose, with 
flowers of a true crimson-scarlet tint that 
entirely lacks the unpleasant magenta pre- 
old ruined trees with a veil of ivory-white, 
starry blossoms. The new pink variety 
rubens furnishes a pretty contrast. Other 
good species are the yellow-flowered C. gra- 
ever, without doubt, Solanum jasminoklei 
whose attractive qualities are widely rec<« 
nised in the south-west, where it is lar^j 
grown by rich and poor alike. ° ^ 
Few flowering chmbers useful for open- 
air gardening can surpass the honeysuckle 
It lends itself to wild gardening, and if 
allowed to ramble at will forms charmine 
pictures. Rough cliff faces and ruined 
walls are rendered lovely and odorous bv i 
veil of flowering honeysuckle. Tall firs may 
be seen with their columnar trunks 
swathed, sometimes to a height of thirty j 
Light yellow, with sulphur and cream-pink shading. Gold Medal, N.R.S., May 1.

sent in Crimson Rambler. Reine Olga de 
Wurtemburg is another fine climber ex¬ 
tremely rapid in growth, often making 
shoots twelve feet and more in length, and 
bearing large semi-double flowers ctf a rich 
crimson. 
As regards the clematis family, the 
spring-flowering C. montana is one of the 
most ornamental of the whole race, admir- 
.'lible alike for clothing walls, fences and 
pergolas, and for garlanding evergreens or 
veolens, a rapid grower, whose feathery 
seed-clusters are as decorative in the 
autumn as those of the well-known Travel¬ 
ler’s Joy (C. vitalba) of cur hedgerows, and 
C. balearica or calycina, which, in the 
south-w'est, produces its white, purple- 
spotted blooms as early as February, and 
quickly covers a large space, clambering 
over evergreens, and reaching the eaves of 
a house in a very short time. The best of 
the half-hardy flow'ering climbers is, how-
