It is somewhat tender ; nevertheless, it will grow and flower freely against
an open wall in the neighbourhood of London; and the extraordinary fragrance
qt Its flowers, which are produced in the greatest abundance, well
entitles it to a place in every collection.

Perhaps the most valuable species of the genus, next to the indigenous
one. It IS nearly evergreen apparently as hardy as the common woodbine,
? e l 1 ? S'-°Y,th; and. probably, a much longerlived
plant. Its flowers, which are produced for several months together are
exceedingly fragrant ; and by prunmg and watering, it may be kept in flower
m the open garden from Apnl to November, and in a conservatory throughout
the year. No garden whatever, whether large or small, should be without
this species. Intending purchasers of this species will find that plants in pots
are much to be preferred, though they are one half dearer ; because if they
are tnnied out into a large mass of prepared light
rich soil, and placed against a wall, the ball being
broken, and the roots spread carefully out in every
direction, the slioots will cover several square yards
of wall the first summer, and Hower abundantly.
L. longifòlia Hort. and our fig. 987., of which there

to this section. The plants are apparently only half-
hardy, Fruit blue.

This is one o f th e most hardy of European shrubs, and one of the few
which grow in the open gardens of Petersburg and Stockholm, without protection
during winter. In British gardens, the plant is very common, and it is
valued for its early leafing and flowering. It will grow m any soli, and almost
in any situation, and is readily propagated bv cuttings.
