Both the varieties of the Trumpet Honeyfuckle were culti- 
vated at Chelfea, by Mr. Putrie Miter, who was doubtful 
whether they ought not rather to be confidered as diftinét fpecies. 
Our prefent plant is a native of Carolina, and is every way 
more delicate than the Virginian or larger fort ; but we cannot 
find any charaéters by which it can be marked as fpecifically 
different. The leaves are narrower, more glaucous underneath, 
and the flowers are flenderer and of a more delicate colour, 
inimitable by art, efpecially over a black engraving. 
This variety is too tender to bear the inclemency of our 
Winters, if they happen to be at all fevere ; and therefore, when 
treated as a hardy fhrub, it is generally foon loft. It is a good 
climber for the confervatory, and its beauty renders*it worthy 
of fuch a fituation. It has been fo long loft to our gardens, that 
when lately introduced by Melffrs. J. and J. T. Fraser, it was 
confidered as new. 
Flowers moft part of the fummer. Propagated by cuttings, 
or more certainly by layers. Communicated from Fraser's 
American Nurfery, Sloane-Square.
