 Miller recommends the seed of the French Honey- 

 suckle to be sown in the month of April, in a bed 

 of light fresh earth, and when the plants come up, 

 they should be transplanted into other beds of the 

 like earth, and in an open situation, at about six or 

 eight inches' distance from each other. In these beds 

 they may remain until Michaelmas, when they may be 

 removed into the situations where they are intended 

 to flower, observing that each plant will require a 

 space of three feet each way from other plants. 



In the language of flowers, the French Honey- 

 suckle is made the emblem of rustic beauty.
