 this climate. It has long dark-green pointed leaves and axillary clus- 

 ters of flowers which are rose colored when they first open, but soon 

 become orange-red; they are without odor. On the slopes of its native 

 mountains this plant clambers over rocks and bushes; and, like other 

 clinging honeysuckles, it will do best when allowed to grow natu-
