produce  a  singularly  beautiful  effect  amongst  the  various  colours 
of  the  leaves  of  the  several  shrubs  and  trees.  Olearia  Gunni,  with 
branches  roped  with  flowers,  is  also  charming.  Berberis  there 
are  almost  without  number,  some  with  large  leaves,  and  others 
Another  shrub  we  noticed  was  Csesalpinia  japonica,  which  wa» 
originally  introduced  by  Messrs.  Yeitch  from  Japan.  Unfortu¬ 
nately  the  habit  is  not  very  good,  but  the  handsome  canary -yellow 
flowers,  with  their  red  filaments  and  anthers,  more  than  compensate

•with  small  ones.  Of  the  former  B.  aquifolium  latifolium  has  very 
handsome  foliage,  especially  in  the  young  state.  Hydrangeas, 
Viburnums,  Sjringas,  and  Weigelas  rise  here  and  there  to  com¬ 
mand  attention.  ,  Of  the  last-named  Weigela  rosea  Eva  Rathke, 
with  very  deep  rose  coloured  blooms,  is  almost  perpetual  flowering. 
for  this.  The  blooms  are  borne  in  long  racemes,  carrying  upwards 
of  twenty  individual  flowers.  Of  this  we  give  an  illustration 
(fig.  100).  The  plant  is  perfectly  hardy.  Eucrypbia  pinnatifida, 
which  was  figured  in  the  Journal  of  Horticulture  some  time  back, 
though  not  now  in  flower,  is  beautiful  by  reason  of  its  foliage  alone.
