" F the numerous varieties of this beautiful climbing shrub, the 



one called periclymenum, or Woodbine, is perhaps the most 



Lommon. The name is deri\ed from the German naturalist 



Adam Lonicer, or Lonitzer. Its delicate flowers are so laden 



. 7 with sweets that they attract that little opalescent jewel of a 



^i humming-bird more frequently from his hiding-place than any 



o\er which it floats like the spirit of another and more 



gorgeous 



flower. For a number of jears there have been several 



very desirable imported plants of this species in cultivation. The Tar- 



1^::^ tarian is from Russia, having either delicate purple or white flowers; 



the Lonicera Japonica, a tribute from China, has yellow blossoms; and 



3 able to vie with either is our own Coral Honeysuckle — bright, brilliant 



and fragrant.

"ITTHOSE heart is at rest, he alone is a lover: 



'^' The winters shall change not, the storms leave unshaken, 

 Whose love shall endure, though all blossoms be taken. 

 Whose love shall endure when earth's durance is over. 

 Whose love shall enfold, though the world have forsaken.
