Trumpet. Lat. Lonicera sempervirens. Fr. Chevre-feuille 

 toujours vert. A climbing evergreen shrub from North 

 America. Blows, from May till August, a flower which 

 is red on the outside, and yellow in the inside. Propa- 

 gated by layers and cuttings. Any soil suits them. 



HONEY-SUCKLE, the Tartarian. Lat. Lonicera Tartarica* 

 Fr. Chameserisier de Tartarie. A shrub, originally from 

 Russia and Tartary, which grows to the height of five 

 or six feet, and blows in March and April. As the seeds 

 are one or two years in coming up, it is best to propagate 

 them by layers, which may be planted where they are to 

 stay at the end of eighteen months. They do not like 

 the spring frosts, but hard winters do not hurt them. 

 Any soil suits them, but it is advisable to put them in a 

 good situation and in a warm soil. HONEY-SUCKLE, 

 Yellow-flowered. Lat. Diermlla lutea. Fr. Diermlla a 

 Jleurs Jaunes.'A hardy shrub from North America, two 

 or three feet high, and blows a yellow flower in June.

 with it, 



360. HAWTHORN, White. -Lat. Mespilus Oxiacantha. 

 Fr. Neflier Aubepine. A shrub common in many parts of 

 Europe, which blows a white flower in May; but enough 

 of it has been said in paragraph 32. But, besides being 

 a most useful jilant for the purpose of making hedges, it 

 is also an exceedingly ornamental shrub, having foliage, 

 flower and fragrance to delight our senses early in the 

 month of May. Propagated from the seeds which ripen 

 plentifully. Gather them in the fall $ keep them .all the 

 winter in sand, and sow in the spring j and, in two years 

 your plants will be fit to go out.
