HONEYSUCKLES (Lonicera). 



Plants that are too well known to need description. They should be in every garden, as they thrive with little 

 care, and throughout the season scent the air with their fragrance. The three varieties listed are by far the best for 

 all purposes, and will be certain to give satisfactory results. The other sorts have a tendency to decay at a time 

 when they begin to be of value. On this account we have discarded them, but will procure them if customers desire. 



Chinese Evergreen {Woodbine). Red, yellow and 



white variegated flowers: very fragrant. 

 Variegated (Aurea reticulata). Foliage beautifully 



mottled yellow and green ; succeeds in any situation ; 



a fine edging to flower beds. 



25 to 50 cts. each, $2.50 to $5.00 per dozen 



Ilalliana. A. white monthly Honeysuckle, from China ; 

 flowers pure white, turning to yellow, with the fra- 

 grance of the Cape Jasmine ; hardy, vigorous grower,

AKEBIA QUINATA. 



One of the best climbers, bearing numberless bunches 

 of violet brown flowers, which have a pleasant cinnamon 

 odor. It begins to bloom early in spring, and continues

 to 40 feet high. 25 to 50 cts. each ; $2.50 to $5.00 per dozen.
