11. Lonicera Symphoricarpcs —(S vmphoi icarpos) or 
Shrubby St. Peter’s Wort. 
An upright, deciduous Ihrub, three or four, to five 
or fix feet high—the leaves [middling. or Jmallijh') 
roundiih-ovate, petiolated, or with foot-ftalks; and 
lateral heads of greenilh flowers pedunculated, arifing 
at the fides of the branches.—Native of Virginia 
and Carolina, [dny common foil.) 
12 . Lonicera Dtervilla —(Diervilla) or Dwarf 
Yellow Honey-fuclde. 
A fmall, upright, deciduous Ihrub, three or four 
feet high—the leaves (flmallijh) oblong-hearted, 
fawed, and racems of yellow flowers terminating the 
branches.—Native of Acadia and North America. 
{■day common foil.) 
The Honey-fuckles are principal, ornamental, flow- 
erir.g-fhrubs, in the climbing, trailing, and upright 
fpecies, for adorning Ihrubberies, pleafure-grounds, 
flower-gardens, borders, and other compartments, 
and to plant in pots ; as in all of which they make a 
beautiful appearance in their numerous, fine, odorife¬ 
rous flowers, feveral months in fummer, from May or 
June, till September or Oftober, in the different fpe¬ 
cies and varieties; which, in the trailing, or climbing 
forts, particularly, are largeft, moil elegant and fra¬ 
grant, and the fhrubs thereof are defirable ornaments 
in every garden, either to plant againfl walls, paJings, 
buildings, &c. to have fupport thereof, and on which, 
to train their long-extending, flender Hems, branches, 
and fhoots, or to have fupport of flakes, or flems of 
trees and arbours, whereby to train them in their 
volubilate growth; and in which different methods 
they are peculiarly adapted, as they all require fup¬ 
port, otnerwife the flems and fhoots would trail on 
the ground: all the other fpecies have alfo great merit, 
as flowering-fhrubs, to plant in Ihrubberies, borders, 
&c. and will eftedi a confpicuous diverfity in their dif¬ 
ferent modes of flowering, and colours of the flowers, 
ice. as likewife, in the different forts, the berries fuc- 
ceeding the flowers make an agreeable variety in 
autumn. 
All the forts, both climbers and upright kinds, are 
hardy fhrubs, that will grow and profper in any com¬ 
mon foil of a garden, &c. and in moil fituations; but 
generally flower flrongefl, in the greatefl perfection and 
beauty, in open expofures. 
They are obtained of proper growth for planting, 
at moll of the nurfery-gardens, in collection, or of 
any particular fpecies or varieties as required; and may 
EGETABLE SYSTEM 
be planted in autumn or fpring, or any time in mild 
weather, from October, to March or April; and are 
all readily propagated plentifully by cuttings and layers 
of the young wood, which will be well rooted in one 
fummer, for tranfplanting in autumn or fpring follow¬ 
ing , and may be trained either with a Angle Item a 
foot or two high, or more, then permitted to advance 
in branchy heads; or the climbing kinds defigned for 
training to walls, &c. may train them with only a 
fhort Item below, and to pufh out above in feveral 
branches; and the more firm or upright growers may 
be trained with a fingle Item, from one to two or three 
feet, and full heads above, to plant for ftandards; or 
likewife, for the fame purpofe, the climbing forts, 
may occafionally be run with a fingle Item, fupported 
each with a flake, and permitted to branch full at top, 
to form bulhy heads, pruning the long lhoots accord- 
ingly. 
Thefe flirubs, for planting, are molt proper, while 
they are of mpderately-young growth, advanced, in 
the main Item and principal head, one to two, or three 
feet, exclufive of the long-extending lhoots. 
The climbing, or trailing kinds, Ihould generally be 
planted either to have the fupport of walls and palings, 
or to train againfl the wall of an houfe, or other build¬ 
ing, or to afeend over arbours; and in all .or any of 
which to have the principal lhoots trained in regular 
order; cutting out the weak ftragglers, and prune the 
upper weak parts of the others, and nail them to the 
wall, either upright, or more or lefs horizontally, 
as the allotted fpace admits, five or fix inches afunder; 
or others planted to twine round flakes, poles, or the 
Items of trees; and fome to run over fhrubs, bullies, 
hedges. Sec. in their natural order of growth; and 
likewife fome may be planted detached in Ihrubberies, 
and formed into low, bulhy, ftandard fhrubs, aflifted 
by the fupport of a flake to each, as formerly intimated, 
and trained with a fingle ftem, by cutting away the 
lateral fhoots, and forming a full head above: prune 
the very long, rambling lhoots, to preferve the head 
within fome moderate compafs and regularity. 
Butthemore firm, or upright growers, may be planted 
for detached flandards, in Ihrubberies, borders, &c. 
trained principally with a fingle, upright ftem, one, 
two, or three feet; or any as leem to need fupport, 
have a flake placed to each, the ftem tied thereto; and, 
in all of which, pruning away the other lateral lhoots, 
and fuffered to branch out above to form the head; and 
of which prune ftraggling and rambling twigs, to keep 
the head in fome regular order. 
Or any of thefe forts of Honey-fuckles may alfo be 
trained againfl walls. Sec. as advifed for the common 
climbing kinds; efpecially fuch as produce long, run¬ 
ning lhoots, or of a trailing nature; or any others, as 
may
