Lonicera Cafirifolium^ or Early White Flowering. This 

 is the one whose flowers first make their appearance ; they 

 are produced in great abundance around the ends of the 

 branches, and have a fine odour ; the time of bloom is soon 

 over, and the flowers are succeeded by red berries. This 

 is of rapid growth, and well calculated as a climber. It is 

 frequently called the White Italian Honeysuckle. There 

 are two other varieties, the one with red, and the other with 

 yellow flowers, both of which are more rare with us than the 

 preceding. 



Lonicera fiery clemenum, or English Woodbine. This is 

 one of the finest running species, and is highly valued for its 

 abundant flowers. The shoots of some of the varieties are 

 less strong, and advance with less rapidity than others. They 

 consist of the following : 



Common English Woodbine. 



Oak Leaved. 



Variegated Oak Leaved. 

 Striped Monthly. 

 BelgiC) or Dutch. 

 Red Flowering. 

 Late Flowering. 



Cafirifolium sempervirens t or Scarlet Trumpet Monthly. 

 This is one of the most desirable species, as well for the 

 great vigour of its growth as for its abundant produce of fine 

 coral coloured flowers, which expand throughout the season. 

 It is a native of the southern states, but bears our severest 

 winters, and even will generally retain some few leaves at 

 the extremities of the branches during that season. There 

 is a variety wiih deeper coloured flowers, which are of a 

 smaller size, and produced more scantily. 



Cafirifolium gratum^ or Evergreen. This has leaves of 

 less size than the preceding, of which it retains a consider- 

 able proportion during winter ; the flowers are scarlet. 



Cafirifolium fraseri^ or Yellow Trumpet. The flowers 

 of this resemble the Scarlet Trumpet, except in colour, 

 which, being a fine yellow, renders the plant very interesting. 



Cafirifolium fiubescens, or Yellow Pubescent. This is 

 strikingly distinct from all others. The leaves are hairy ; 

 the flowers a dark yellow. It grows with great rapidity, and 

 has attracted much attention in Europe, where it has been 

 but latterly introduced, being a native of our western wildsJ
