FROM BRAZIL

Tt is a rampant climber, origi-
nating from Brazil, producing a
profusion of large and beautl-
ful blue flowers. Seeds of this
variety germinate frecly if
sown as soon as ripe, and the
seedlings will flower the second
year.

Ecallonia Rubra, although
usually grown As a shrub, will
do well on a wall and will grow
to a helght of 6 feet. It has
glossy follage and tubular-red
flowers.

Pyracantha, or Fiery Thorn,
is a very showy plant with its
profusion of bright red berries
in autumn and winter; and
Cotoneaster Simonsi, the up-
right variety, may also be
elansed among the climbers.
QUICK GROWER

‘There are two half-hardy:
climbers I would like to class
among the above hardy ones,
for they can be planted out in
Spring and treated as annuals.
‘One is Coboea Scandens, and
4s a very quick grower and
makes a lovely show in late
summer with its purple bell-
shaped flowers.

‘The other s Maurandya Scan-
ens, sometimes known as Lop-
hospermum, is a beautiful plant
for covering a wall or trelils,
for it Js of graceful habit, flow-
ers freely, and will grow in any
fairly Wgbt, rich soll; the flow-
ers are a violet purple colour,
‘The variety Barclayana docs
‘equally well on wall or trellis,

Among the climbers which
are grown for the sake of their
follage, we have the Virginia
Creeper, Ampelopsis quinque-
folla, which is £0 valuable for

pg walls, trellises, arches,
- and ts so beautiful in
autumn, when {ta leaves turn

BEST OF ALL.

Hedera Helix, the common
Ivy, is perhaps the most m-
portant of all the climbing
plants that are hardy in this
climate. There are few subjects
that exhibit so much capacity
of adaptation, to clreumstances,

‘The Ivy has been cultivated
for years, and under cultivation
has given rise to hundreds of
varieties, Some of he stronger-
growing climbers, such as the
typo itself, the Irish Ivy (cana-
riensls) dentata, purpure:

climbers that will succeed in

ny soil and in any aspect.

Highly artistic results may be

by planting such varieties as

them to ramble over rough tree

the score.

‘To those who may be inelincd
to ask why the Tree Ivy, so
distinct in @ppearance from the
ordinary climbing Irish Ivy, is
yet referred to the same species

well to point out that the ‘Tree
Ivy 1s the form that the or-
dinary climbing Ivy takes on
‘when it has run beyond its sup-
ports and has nothing to cling
to.

These shrubby tops may, if
desired, be taken off and rooted,
and they will preserve their
shrubby character,
PREJUDICES EXPLAINED

A prejudice long existed
against Ivy as a climber for
house walls, It was declared
that {t made the walls damp,
that the aerial roots pushed
themselves in between the
bricks, and that it harboured
dust and vermin. The truth is
that Ivy-covered walls are not
damper than any other wall:
but drier, and that the acrial
roots are only supports and not
true roots, and their function
the mechanfeal support of the|
plant only.

‘They may excrete a little acid,
which corrodes the face of the
mortar, and thus gives them a
better hold, but practically thelr
