quarter-inch leaves and in June or July bears white or rose-colored flowers. 

 For the rockery. 



LONICERA FRAGRANTISSIMA WlNTER HONEYSUCKLE 



A large, slightly top-tender, rounded shrub which tends, in warmer sections, 

 to retain its broad, dark-green leaves well into the winter. It bears early, 

 fragrant, white flowers which are followed by red berries. Like all Honey- 

 suckles, it can withstand a considerable degree of shade. 



LONICERA HECKROTTII EvERBLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE 



A short, non-rampant, slightly twining, deciduous vine with smooth, stem- 

 less, gray leaves. Its two-toned flowers of reddish-purple outside and yellowish 

 purple within are borne profusely from June to September. For garden use 

 it is related to other climbing Honeysuckles about as Clematis texensis is to 

 the more vigorous species of its genus. It may be of hybrid origin. It must 

 be protected against aphids. 



Lonicera Henryi HENRY HONEYSUCKLE 



A vine sometimes favored because of the almost completely evergreen 

 property of its elongated leaves. Good for ground cover. Not too top-hardy. 



LONICERA JAPONICA var. HALLIANA Hall Japan Honeysuckle 

 A well-known, nearly evergreen, twining vine for ground cover, fences and 

 screens. In summer it bears pure-white, fragrant flowers which change later 

 to yellow. Much of the material in the trade and in naturalized plantings 

 under this name are type plants of seedling origin which have fewer flowers 

 of white, tinted purple. This variety, in name at least, is as fixed in the popular 

 mind as Honeysuckle as is Clematis paniculata for its genus. A rank grower 

 which, unfortunately, is capable in warmer areas of driving out many native 

 plants. 



LONICERA KOROLKOWII var. FLORIBUNDA 



Broad Blueleaf Honeysuckle 



A truly large but not coarse, deciduous shrub with rounded, bluish leaves 



and in early summer numerous small pink flowers. It needs plenty of room 



(twenty or more feet) in which to develop fully its pleasing spreading outline. 



It can, of course, be kept smaller by understanding pruning. 



LONICERA MAACKII var. PODOCARPA Late Honeysuckle 



A very tall (fifteen feet or more), spreading, deciduous shrub having dark, 

 rounded, long-persistent leaves and fragrant white flowers which fade yellow 

 and are followed by dark red fruits. A plant for the large border or wherever 

 else it may be given sufficient room. 



LONICERA MORROWII Morrow Honeysuckle 



A thoroughly hardy, heavy-wooded, deciduous shrub with rounded leaves, 

 white flowers in May changing to yellow and dark red, and late-summer 

 fruits. Because its habit is to grow some six feet high and fifteen to twenty 

 feet across, it is usually out of place in any but very extensive plantings. Var. 

 XANTHOCARPA has yellow fruits. 



LONICERA PILEATA Privet Honeysuckle 



A top-tender, flopping-branched, nearly evergreen, Bush Honeysuckle 

 which, where hardy, can spread out in ground-covering mats on banks, walls, 

 or in the large rockery. Its white flowers of April or May are followed by purple 

 fruits.
