the outside, and yellowish within; of a very agreeable odour. This, 
which is commonly called the Dutch honeysuckle, may be trained 
with stems, and formed into heads ; which the wild sort cannot, the 
branches being too weak and trailing for the purpose. 
& L. P. 4 quercifolium Ait. Hort. Kew., the Oak-leaved Honeysuckle, 
has the leaves sinuated like those of an oak. Found wild in several 
parts of England. There is a subvariety of this, with the leaves 
slightly marked near the margin with yellow. The flowers are like 
those of the species. 
All the varieties of the common honeysuckle are beautiful and fragrant ; 
and, either trained against a wall, twining round a pole and over a parasol 
top, or climbing and rambling among bushes, form great ornaments to gardens. 
They are propagated by cuttings ; but a large proportion of these do not suc- 
ceed, owing to the tubular shoots admitting the wet during winter, and rotting 
the upper part of the cutting, that the more common mode of propagation is 
by layers. Both layers and cuttings are made in the autumn, as soon as the 
leaves have dropped; and they become sufficiently rooted in one year. (See 
Encyc. of Gard., edit. 1835.)
