The foreign journals speak of a beautiful Wisteria - recently in full bloom - covering the front of a well known hotel near Slough, in England, and running around each end for some distance, making altogether a length of about 150 feet. It was planted against a strong iron support of the veranda, which support long since lifted bodily from the ground, and broke in pieces with the seeming ease with which a man would break a lucifer match. A Laburnum grows against the building on one flank, and the contrast between the clusters of blue and yellow flowers is declared to be "perfectly charming."

A Rampant Wisteria #1

A most beautiful specimen of the Wisteria when in full bloom, last year, attracted general attention from all England . It covers the front of a well-known hotel near Slough, and runs around each eace for some distance, making a breadth of at least one hundred and fifty feet . It was placed against a strong iron support of the verandah, which support it long since lifted bodily from the ground and broke in pieces with seeming ease. A Laburnum grows against the building on one flank, and the contrast between the clusters of blue and yellow flowers is declared to be perfectly charming .

Speaking of Wisterias, calls to our mind the largest vine known in the United States . It is situated in New York city, corner of Second avenue and Seventh street, and covers a space of one hundred and fifty feet long by about sixty-five high - luxuriant beyond description, and a perfect glory when in bloom.
