LONICERA. Bush Honeysuckle 



Desirable free-blooming shrubs of erect habit of growth and easiest culture in 

 any common soil. The ornamental fruit and fragrant flowers are points of merit, 

 and in the various sorts the fruits present a great variety of colors. The upright- 

 growing, dense kinds make admirable hedge plants and admit of vigorous pruning.

 orous grower of rather straggling habit. The pinkish white flowers in early

 sometimes in sheltered locations all winter. The plant is not particular as to 

 soil or situation and is absolutely hardy.

 until September, vary from pink to purple, and are set all along the drooping 

 branches. The fall fruits are scarlet or orange-red. An excellent plant for 

 covering banks, planting in wild or rocky places, or along the top of walls 

 where the branches can hang over. It climbs well and gives magnificent effects,

 fragrant foliage which is held almost throughout the winter. The reddish
