 EVER-BLOOMING 

 HONEYSUCKLE. 



Heckrott's Ever-Blooming Honeysuckle. 



I.onicera Heckrottii. A valuable ever-blooming variety; flowers bright earmine- 

 recl, with yellow and buff markings at the ends of the tubes; deliciously fragrant. 

 This is a grand variety and displaces Belgica, the old fragrant Dutch Honey- 

 suckle, being superior to it in every way. (See cut.) Price, strong, 2-year-old 

 plants, 40c. each, S4.00 per doz. 



Henderson's Ever- Blooming Honeysuckle. 



Lonicera Hendersoni. Large clusters of yellow trumpet-shaped blooms, chan-. - 

 ing the second day to orange-red on every young twig throughout the entiiv 

 growing season, thus becoming a true ever-bloomer. Both colors, red an'l 

 yellow, show clearly in each cluster as long as it lasts. The plant is a health v 

 grower, with a tendenc}' to climb very high. It makes a good companion with 

 the Chinese Honeysuckle, on account of the great profusion of its brilliant flow- 

 ers. The clusters are larger and longer than the ordinary Honeysuckle, are 

 borne on longer stalks, hold better, and are valuable for cut flowers. Pri <-.

 crimson and orange. Truly a grand sight.
