BERBERIDOPSIS CORALLINA.--Mr. Burbidge writes in the _Garden_: "The finest specimen of this beautiful and distinct evergreen climber I ever saw was on the stable wall at Lakelands, Cork, when that noble place was in the hands of the late Mr. William Crawford, a great lover of garden vegetation. It is a native of the Chilian Andes, introduced in 1862. It likes a deep peaty soil or loam and leaf-mould on a moist bottom, and, like the _Lapageria_ and its dwarf cousin _Philesia_, it enjoys a northern or shaded aspect, rarely thriving for long together in full sunshine. Its flowers resemble those of the Berberis, but are much larger, have pendent stalks, and are of the brightest coral-red or blood colour. It grows and flowers here in a shaded corner under an ivy-topped wall."
BIGNONIA CAPREOLATA.--This is the hardiest of the Bignonias. It needs a warm wall, and there is much beauty in the warm, reddish-orange, trumpet-shaped flowers, which are in clusters from April to August. It grows to a considerable height. North America.
BILLARDIERA LONGIFLORA.--This is the Apple Berry of Tasmania, and is of elegant twining habit, its greenish-yellow flowers, which are not very showy, being succeeded by handsome blue berries that are very ornamental, and are similar in shape and size to Fuchsia fruits. The plant is closely related to the _Pittosporums_ of New Zealand, and grows 2 or 3 feet in height. There are two or three other kinds, but none prettier than _B. longiflora_. It grows best in moist peat and sandstone, at the foot of a half-shaded wall.
CALYSTEGIA.--Also known as Convolvulus. _C. pubescens fl. pl._, the double Bindweed, is more useful for rough stumps than walls, but may be included; the flowers are double, of rosy colouring, and large, and appear during the summer and into the autumn. It is best in warm, well-drained soil.
CAMELLIA.--Mr. Scrase-Dickins writes in the _Garden_, March 30, 1901, p. 227, as follows about these little-understood hardy shrubs: "The best Camellias for planting out of doors in the open air are those which bloom late and start late into growth, such, for instance, as _Chandleri elegans_ or _Anemonæflora_; the varieties with broad roundish leaves appear to grow in more robust fashion than those having narrow pointed ones with a serrated edge, though the latter will make sometimes very compact bushes. It is possible that the sorts with dark-red flowers are hardier than those with pink. The old double white seems to stand the cold well enough, but it hides its flowers rather too much among the foliage to make any effective display of them, though in this way they are often secured from frost or bad weather and made serviceable for cutting. To train against a trellis or wall _Doncklaarii_ is very good, and next to _reticulata_ one of the most beautiful when well grown, blooming so freely.
