Honeysuckles and Other Hardy Vines. 



HONEYSUCKLES. — For real home vines, to be near you, climbing over your windows and doorways, there 

 is nothing prettier than fine, sweet-scented Honeysuckles ; the foliage is pretty, neat and clean, the flowers almost 

 continuous, and their fragrance delicious. The varieties described below are the very best. 



HONEYSUCKLE HEDGES. — Some of our friends have conceived the idea of planting Honeysuckles along 

 the division fences, and it is wonderful what pretty hedges they make. Iron or wire fences are the best, but almost 

 any kind is soon covered with a mantle of living green, making a very pretty and cheap border for lawns, drives, 

 parks, cemeteries, etc. Other climbing vines will answer the same purpose, but the sweet-scented Honeysuckles are 

 both fragrant and beautiful. T^iey should be planted two feet apart.
