FRENCH HONEYSUCF{LE. 2S7 



red colour and satin-like appearance; but the 

 large straggling nature of the plant makes it 

 more calculated to ornament the shrubbery than 

 to embellish the flower borders. Miller recom 

 mends the seed of the French Honeysuckle 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.
