White European Jasmine Jasminum officinale

We have to regret that the inclemency of our winters will not permit us to cultivate the White European Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) out of the garden, as even there it requires a slight protection in winter. Below the latitude of Philadelphia, however, it will probably succeed well. In the southern states they have a most lovely plant, the Carolina Jasmine (Gelseminum), which hangs its beautiful yellow flowers on the very tree tops, and the woods there in spring are redolent with their perfume.
