Lonicera  •  Honeysuckle 
A  varied  genus  that  includes  vines  and  shrubs. 
For  the  vines,  see  page  65.  The  bush  varieties  are 
in  demand  for  shrubbery  groups  and  borders.  They 
are  hardy  and  grow  easily.  Their  fragrant  flow- 
ers are  admired  in  spring,  but  another  attraction 
is  the  brilliant  fruit  that  follows  in  the  summer 
and  fall.
