LONICERA SEMPERVIRENS var. SULPHUREA YELLOW TRUMPET HONEYSUCKLE 



A yellow-flowered Honeysuckle, otherwise like var. superba. Much of the 

 supposed L. flava of the trade is probably of this variety. 



LONICERA SEMPERVIRENS var. SUPERBA 



A vigorous, climbing, smooth-leaved, deciduous variety of the Trumpet 

 Honeysuckle. In summer it bears deep scarlet, scentless flowers clustered at 

 the ends of the branchlets. Useful for flowering effect on trellisses, fences, or 

 when grown wild over worthless shrubs and trees. It is as attractive to aphids 

 as a Nasturtium. 



LONICERA SPINOSA var. ALBERTI 



A deciduous Bush Honeysuckle which has slender, flopping branches, narrow, 

 bluish leaves, fragrant pink flowers, and bloomy fruits. It can be used to 

 advantage on banks or in the very large rockery. 



LONICERA TATARICA var. ROSEA Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle 



A hardy, ten-foot, upright, deciduous shrub with large dark foliage and 

 numerous fragrant pink flowers in May. The red berries of late summer are, 

 unless eaten by birds, somewhat persistent. A plant for the wide border or 

 large informal hedge. 



LONICERA THIBETICA TlBETAN HONEYSUCKLE 



A hardy, deciduous shrub with confused prostrate branches which, if left 

 unpruned, tangle together and pile up eventually into a four- or five-foot, 

 shiny-leaved mass with purplish-pink flowers in late May. Best suited for 

 group plantings on banks, retaining walls, or rough slopes. It is suggested 

 here in place of L. syringantha var. Wolfii which is too rampant for most 

 limited garden areas. 



Lycium chinense CHINESE MaTRIMONY-ViNE 



A rugged, pendulous-branched, deciduous shrub, or, if a support is available, 

 a clambering climber. Small purple flowers, red fruits, and long-persistent 

 leaves make it a suitable covering for low, rough structures or rocky areas 

 where nothing in the way of maintainance is available. Spreads rapidly by 

 volunteer seedlings and has little place in fine gardening. 



Lyonia mariana (Pieris W.) (Xolisma m.) StaGGER-Bush 



A coarse, deciduous, native shrub growing to some six feet in height on low 

 areas. Because of its adaptability to moist places and its sprays of nodding 

 whitish flowers, this plant can find a limited place in broad, wilder planting. 



Magnolia acuminata CUCUMBER TREE 



A very large, eastern-American tree which, like many another plant, grows 

 up through an interestingly pyramidal juvenile stage to spread out a broad 

 top at maturity. Has six- to ten-inch, pale-green leaves, insignificant flowers, 

 and cucumber-like fruits which show bright red seeds in late summer. Var. 

 cordata has broader leaves, and canary-yellow flowers. 



MAGNOLIA DENUDATA (M . COnsptCUd) YuLAN 



A gray-barked, open-topped tree up to thirty feet or more, which bears 

 six-inch, fragrant, white flowers in early spring before the unfolding of the 

 leaves. Its expanding flower parts are sometimes injured by frost. 



magnolia sieboldii (M. parviflora) Oyama Magnolia 



A small, somewhat tender, deciduous tree or large shrub up to some thirty
