LON1CERA japonica Halliana. Hall’s Honeysuckle. 
This is the Honeysuckle which helps to make Penn¬ 
sylvania roadsides beautiful to other state visitors. 
The creamy white blossoms scent the whole atmos¬ 
phere. For covering fences, steep banks, and 
unsightly places it has no equal, and should be 
much more freely planted. Perfectly hardy, free 
from disease, and of rapid growth. It can be cut 
at will and easily kept within bounds. Small field- 
or pot-plants, planted closely, will give a much 
more even effect than larger plants.
