that honied sweetness yielded by the common 
Honeysuckle, is not less delightful ; it partakes of 
the orange-flower odor, and is by many persons 
preferred. 
Although the Lonicera Chinensis has been for 
many years known in this country to nurserymen 
and botanists, still its flowers are rarely seen 
embellishing the porch of the cottager, or its fra- 
grance inviting the traveller to halt at the road- 
side inn. There are now, we trust, very few 
amongst us so wanting in philanthrophy, — so 
cynical, as not to desire the extension of that taste — 
that superior civilization, which may induce all 
classes to assist in producing inexpensive garden 
beauties, from the actual enjoyment of seeing them, 
and being instrumental to their existence ; in fact, 
in first creating the scene, and then feeling that it 
is good. 
This plant was, long after its introduction, a 
nursling of the greenhouse, where it rambles luxu- 
riantly, and by judicious pruning may be kept in 
perpetual flower. Our business with it, however, 
is in the open garden, where it may be more the 
child of nature. Trained to a wall, of southern 
aspect, it becomes exceedingly ornamental. Here 
its principal branches should be regularly nailed 
as they advance in growth, and the weaker ones cut 
back, to produce neatness and short flowering later- 
als. It should be planted in a dry soil, and if a 
wall of good aspect cannot be given to it, a warm 
and sheltered corner must be chosen. Cuttings of 
it will strike root under a hand-glass in the open 
ground, but more readily in a slight hotbed.
