THE SHRUBBY LONIOERAS. 



Of all the ornamental deciduous flow- 

 ering shrubs, the loniceras are among 

 the most beautiful. They grow rapidly 

 and either as single specimens or in 

 masses are extremely effective. Single 

 specimens need considerable room, more 

 especially Morrowi, and it spoils them 

 to do any shearing. They are, however, 

 striking either as solitary specimens or 

 in groups on the lawn, while in mixed 

 shrubberies, if allowed the needful 

 space for proper development, they are 

 among the most useful shrubs we have. 

 Not only are they beautiful when in 



flower, but many of them are even mora 

 oharming when in fruit, and their ease 

 of culture, rapid growth, hardiness anfl 

 freedom from attacks of practically all 

 insect pests are great factors in their 

 favor. Planting can be done in eithe" 

 spring or fall. Many prefer the latte " 

 period. Large sized plants start bet 

 ter if given a good heading back. 



Of the large number of varieties d' 

 upright growing or bush honeysuckle, 

 some of the Himalayan varieties aro 

 not reliably hardy in the north. Some 

 of the best hardy sorts are the follo^\-

L. Morrowi, Japanese bush honey- 

 suckle, is a vigorous grower, with dark 

 green foliage, gray colored underneatli- 

 The flowers are pure white and prt'' 

 duced in wonderful profusion. These 

 were at their best near Boston May 21. 

 From August to October the bushes are 

 a mass of bright red fruit. The foliage 

 hangs on usually until December, mak- 

 ing this a valuable variety for screen- 

 ing purposes. L. Morrowi wants plenty
