136 Honeysuckle (Caprifoliacece) 



Fruit, about the size of a cranberry, round or egg-shape, 

 light red, acid, ripening late and remaining after the 

 leaves have fallen. Stone, very flat, not grooved. 

 September. 



Found, in borders of fields and along streams from Penn- 

 sylvania northward and westward. 



A handsome shrub three to ten feet high, showy in 

 flower and in fruit, well worthy of cultivation. The fruit, 

 in appearance and in taste is somewhat like the cran- 

 berry, as a poor substitute for which it is often used. 



The common garden " snowball" or ''Guelder rose" 

 is a cultivated form of this species, with all the blossoms 

 in the round clusters changed to the larger imperfect 

 form, clusters that are described by Cowper as 



" Silver globes, light as the foamy surf 

 That the wind severs from the broken wave." 



(3) Few-Flowered Viburnum. V. pautiflbrum, Pylaie. 



Flowers, in small clusters of few blossoms on short side 

 branches. 



Leaves, somewhat three-lobed toward the end, rounded, 

 mostly with five veins from the base. 



Fruit, much as in the preceding species. 



Found, occasionally in the mountains of New England, 

 and northward and westward. 



A small, straggling bush, nearly smooth throughout.
