Trees and shrubs, hardy in the British isles . g and thinning tends to shorten the life of these plants, \ar. , Rehder.—This flowers six wtcks in advance of the type, atleast in the United Stales, where I have seen it in bloom in the second weekin July. 628 HYDRANGEA H. PETIOLARIS, Siebold. (Bot. Mag., t. 6788 ; H. scandens, Maximmvicz.^ A deciduous climber, reaching in Japan to the tops of trees 60 to 80 ft. high,and attaching itself closely to the trunks and limbs by means of aerial roots ;young stems smooth or hairy, older ones with peeling brown bark. Leavesroundish ovate, straight or heart-shaped at the base, and with short, taperedpomts ; regularly, sharply, and finely toothed ; i^ to 4^ ins, long, two-thirds tonearly as wide ; dark bright green and smooth above, paler and often withtufts of down in the vein-axils beneath ; stalk varying in length from \ to 4 expanding in June, flat, from 6 to 10 ins. across, with large whitesterile flowers on the margins, i to i| ins. across, and on stalks i to I5 Hydrangea pktiolakis. long ; the small fertile ones with which the centre is filled being a dullerwhite ; stamens fifteen to twenty-two ; flower-stalks downy. Native of Japan ; introduced in 1878. This climber ascends trees, walls,or whatever support it has, in much the same way as ivy does. It growsvigorously, and flowers well on a wall, but a more cfi*cctive way of growing itis as a bush in the ojjcn, for it is very hardy. A few plants may be put roundthe base of an u[)turncd tree-stump, boulder, or even a mound, which they willsoon climb over and cover. After that, the mass assumes a low, spreading,bushhkc form, light and elegant in api)earance, and very striking when inflower. This Hydrangea is in gardens often called Schizophragma
