52 FLOWER-GARDENING. 



other kind in almost every particular except color, this being 

 a bright yellow. 



Lonicera pubescens, or Caprifolium pubescens, a large and 

 beautiful honeysuckle from the North-west coast ; the flowers 

 are large, and of a bright copper color, inclining to orange. 

 They are all perfectly hardy. 



Lonicera flexuosa, Chinese Honeysuckle, of late introduction; 

 it is perfectly hardy, withstanding our most severe frosts with 

 out the least injury ; it is a very sweet-scented honeysuckle, 

 grows rapidly, and to an immense height. It flowers in pairs

 of a light yellow. It is not so hardy as the Chinese, and

Periplaca grceca, or Silk Vine. A prolific climber; wood 

 slender, twining, and elastic ; leaves smooth, ovate, lanceolate. 

 Established plants will grow thirty or forty feet in one season, 

 and yield flowers in clusters, of a brownish-yellow color, from 

 May to July.

Rosa multiflora, from China, is pretty well known, pro 

 ducing thousands of small double red roses in bunches. It 

 requires a sheltered situation from some of our keen north 

 westers. Rosa multiflora alba, from the same country, is of 

 late importation, but as it increases readily may be obtained 

 at about the same price as the former ; the bunches of flowers
