fence, and spreading out on either side. In August it is a mass of
golden-yellow bloom, some of which it often retains until Christmas.

flower is a striking object in the garden. It is fairly common in the
south-west.

CHORIZEMA.--Australia. Well-known evergreen greenhouse plants, bearing
pea-like flowers of orange and red. Masses 7 feet in height and more in
breadth grow against the walls at Trewidden, and begin to flower in
March. _C. cordatum_ and _C. Lowii_ are the species generally grown.

CISSUS DISCOLOR.--Java. A climber, bearing greenish-yellow blossoms.

CLEMATIS INDIVISA LOBATA.--New Zealand. This beautiful white-flowered
Clematis grows well in many gardens, and commences to bloom in March.

CLIANTHUS PUNICEUS.--New Zealand. A brilliant-flowered evergreen
climber, bearing large flowers, somewhat resembling lobsters' claws,
scarlet crimson in hue. It sometimes comes into flower as early as
Christmas, the number of its blossoms increasing until mid-May, when it

at Stoke Fleming, near Dartmouth, where it covers the side of a large
house.

_H. Reidii_, also yellow-flowered. Tregothnan.

HYDRANGEA PETIOLARIS.--Japan. A rampant-growing climber, bearing flat
flower-heads, composed of blooms the minority of which are sterile. It
clings naturally, and is displayed to best advantage when allowed to
ascend a bare tree trunk. At Menabilly, Cornwall, a specimen planted
twelve years ago has ascended the columnar trunk of a Turkey Oak to a
height of almost 40 feet.

INGA PULCHERRIMA.--Mexico. An evergreen shrub, bearing bright-scarlet
