hedges planted either with alder or laurel, where the 
branches have been artfully trained between thofe of the 
hedge; from which the flowers have appeared difperfed 
from the bottom of the hedge to the top ; and, being in¬ 
termixed with the ftrong green leaves of the plants which 
principally compofe the hedge, they have made a charm¬ 
ing appearance : but the beft forts for this purpofe are 
the evergreen and long-blowing honeyfuckles, becaufe 
their flowers continue in fucceflion much longer than the 
others. Thefe flirubs may alfo be propagated by feeds; 
but, unlefs they are Town in the autumn foon after they 
are ripe, the plants will not come up the firft year. 
The trumpet-honeyfuckle is ufually planted againft 
walls or pales, to which their branches are trained ; for 
tfcey are too weak and rambling to be reduced to heads, 
and are liable to be killed in levere winters. This fort 
therefore fliould have a warm afpeft, where it will begin 
to flower at the end of June, and there will be a fuccef- 
flon of flowers till the autumn. It may, however, be 
trained like the other honeyfuckles, and will flower among 
other flirubs, in the fouth border of a plantation in a 
warm foil, till a winter more than ordinarily fevere in¬ 
jures or kills it. It is propagated by laying down the 
young branches, which will eafily take root, and may be 
afterwards treated like the common honeyfuckles. See
