Ever- Blooming Honeysuckle ssssSm. 



NO instances of intentional hybrids between species or varieties of the climbing Honeysuckles 

 appear to be on record. Heckrott's Honeysuckle Is considered to be a hybrid of natural or 

 garden origin, and some hybrids have been found between various yellow-flowered American 

 species. During the summer of 1894 the raiser attempted to hybridize several of the more 

 common species together, but only secured a single fruit from L. fuchsioidcs crossed with L. 

 Sullivanti, a native yellow-flowering speries. The resulting plant, Lonicera, Henderson!, produces 

 large clusters of yellow trumpet-shaped blooms, changing the second day to orange-red on every 

 young twig throughout the entire growing season, thus becoming a true ever-bloomer. Bolb 

 colors, red and yellow, show clearly in each cluster as long as it lasts. The plant is a healthy 

 grower, with a tendency to climb very high. It makes a good companion with the Chinese Honey- 

 suckle, on account of the great profusion of its brilliant flowers. It is quite sterile, producing no 

 berries, which probably accounts for its constant-blooming character. The clusters are larger 

 and longer than the ordinary Honeysuckle, are borne on longer stalks, hold better, and are vain- 

 able for cut flowers. (See cut.) Price, large field-grown plants, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.
