Such a structure should be built of some ng, lasting material, with a roof more or less rounded iictter to display the glory of the flowers in season. Wistaria plants may be planted, perhaps more to Ullage, to cover the arbor quickly. These vines re- iiii training to get them to the roof os soon as possible, i!i(l some care later on to have their .shoots start out 0 right direction. The sides of the arbor may be n up to the vines if desirable, or the branches may nfincd to the roof alone. istarias are sometimes seen to advantage growing 1 pergolas, hut to see them in all their beauty it is neecssary to view their whole surface when in flower. The Wistaria always slow in recovering from the check of transplanting, though rarely dying from the. Retinispora leptoclada lulus. It niykes to 60ft. or so in time, and even often attains to 30ft. It is because of theirshrub-like, bushy outline, even from their youngestyears, that they are so often looked on and planted aslarge shrubs, as this brings them into much use inplantings, both large and small. For years the European Hornbeam has been used inits native countries for hedges, often solely for pro-tection, which its bushiness affords. Although it is de-ciduous, its foliage does not drop when it dies in Au-tumn, but is retained all through the Winter, a screenfrom view and from cold winds. In this way it is agood protection to seedling stock, particularly, as well, to evergreens which might be injured by cold winds orby the bright sunlight in Winter. Where Rhododendronsare grown, the European Hornbeam is a good subjectto plant near them for protection
