The following are suitable for this purpose :— Convolvulus Major, a hardy annual, whose known flowers,, white, crimson, or purple, appear each morning, from July to October. It will reach fifteen feet high. Sow the seed as early as possible in the spring, where you wish them to grow. The Scarlet Eunner, Phaseolus, will reach fifteen feet high, and vulgar though some think it, is nevejr- theless- a pretty climber. The Nasturtium, Tropeolum, is useful as well as pretty; bright orange and yellow flowers, succeeded by a green capsule or berry, which makes an excellent pickle; six feet is, however, its utmost height. The Sweet Pea, Lathyrus odorata, a well-known variety of the Pea, with pink and white blossom ; grows about four feet high. Honeysuckle, Lonicera, a shrubby climber, perfectly hardy. The variety known as Scarlet Trumpet is per- haps the most showy, but the yellow is the most fra- grant. It requires a good rich soil, and in a few years will cover a large space. The Rose has its climbing varieties in the Ayrshire and Prauie Roses, and although the latter is destitute of fragrance, yet its abundance of flowers in some.
