Lonicera • Honeysuckle 
The Lonicera family of shrubs is in standard use through¬ 
out the world. They are indispensable in general plantings 
since some are of the upright shrub type, others are low 
and procumbent, while still others are climbing plants. 
Lonicera Browni. Brown’s Honeysuckle. One of the climb¬ 
ing Honeysuckles with orange-scarlet, scentless flowers. 
L. bella Candida. 6 to 7 ft. A decorative shrub with white 
flowers and red fruit. 
L. fragrantissima. Winter Honeysuckle. 8 to 10 ft. This 
shrub is best known for its small, yellowish white, ex¬ 
ceedingly fragrant flowers which open in warm spells in 
midwinter. The leaves persist until very late in the fall 
on slender, recurving branches. 
L. Heckrotti. Everblooming Honeysuckle. Train this free- 
flowering bushy plant into a shrub or use it as a vine 
and it will do equally well. The flowers are rose-purple 
outside and yellow inside. 
L. japonica Halliana. Hall’s Japanese Honeysuckle. A 
climbing Honeysuckle producing fragrant, yellowish 
white flowers in the early fall. 
L. Maacki. Amur Honeysuckle. 10 to 12 ft. White flowers 
and exceedingly brilliant red berries profusely borne 
distinguish this large shrub. 
L. Morrowi. Morrow Honeysuckle. 5 to 6 ft. This spread¬ 
ing shrub has good foliage, yellow flowers, and myriads 
of blood-red fruit appearing in August and lasting until 
late fall. 
L. nitida. 2 to 3 ft. Although this little shrub often gets 
killed back during a severe winter, it comes back promptly 
the following spring. It is a dwarf grower with small, 
delicate foliage that is evergreen. 
L. prolifera (Sullivanti). A climbing Honeysuckle that is 
very handsome in the fall, with abundant scarlet berries. 
L. sempervirens. Trumpet Honeysuckle. An attractive 
evergreen vine that is sometimes found growing native 
in this section but one which is rarely seen in cultivation. 
It is a shrubby vine and a good one. Its orange-scarlet 
flowers enhance its value. 
L. speciosa. 10 to 12 ft. This plant is absolutely the best 
of the berry-bearing Honeysuckles. The masses of trans¬ 
parent red berries, in late summer and early winter, are 
very striking in their beauty. Good foliage is another 
characteristic of this large-growing plant. 
L. syringantha. Lilac Honeysuckle. 4 to 5 ft. Small, dusty 
green foliage, fragrant lilac-rose flowers, and red fruit 
distinguish this Honeysuckle. 
L. syringantha Wolfi. Wolf Honeysuckle. 4 to 5 ft. A 
graceful little shrub with bluish green leaves on slender, 
prostrate branches. The flowers are red. 
L. tatarica. Tatarian Honeysuckle. 8 to 10 ft. This old 
favorite is a fine shrub with pink flowers in the spring 
and pink berries in the summer. 
L. tatarica rosea. Rosy Tatarian Honeysuckle. 8 to 10 ft. 
This shrub differs from Tatarica only in that it has 
flowers of a deeper shade of pink. 
L. thibetica. Tibetan Honeysuckle. 3 to 4 ft. A beautiful 
purple flower borne on a bush which becomes straggly 
with age. 
MADEIRA-VINE. See Boussingaultia. 
Magnolia 
The Magnolia is a tree that is so widely distributed and 
diversified that everyone should have one or more of the 
varieties. We have, here at our Nurseries, a collection of 
Magnolias of which we feel justly proud. They are ideal 
as specimen trees or are very striking planted against a 
background of evergreens. 
Magnolia acuminata. Cucumber-Tree. 50 to 60 ft. This 
is another tree which grows native in the Smoky Moun¬ 
tains. The large, luxuriant foliage is always conspicuous 
among the hemlocks and pines. Its huge, fragrant, 
yellow-green flowers are showy. A rapid-growing tree. 
M. glauca. Sweet Bay. 25 to 30 ft. A very desirable species 
with creamy, fragrant flowers and large, decorative 
leaves that are partially evergreen. 
M. grandiflora. Southern Magnolia. 40 to 60 ft. With 
large, leathery, shiny, perfectly evergreen leaves, this 
is one of the most handsome trees peculiar to the South. 
It is broad-spreading and dignified. The waxy, pure 
white flowers come in the late spring and early summer, 
followed immediately by cone-like fruit. 
M. hypoleuca. Silver Magnolia. 80 to 100 ft. Long leaves, 
almost white underneath, and large, fragrant flowers 
distinguish this tall, deciduous tree. 
M. Kobus. 60 to 80 ft. Plant this tree where good shade 
is wanted as the broad, oblong leaves are ideal for this 
purpose. The white flowers are scant and inconspicuous 
until the tree acquires some age. 
M. purpurea. 12 to 15 ft. The best bloomer of all the 
Magnolias. Tulip-like, purple blooms literally cover the 
plant in the spring. The slender branches grow from 
the very bottom of the tree to the top. 
M Soulangeana. Saucer Magnolia. 20 to 30 ft. Here is a 
Magnolia that is indeed striking. The small tree is thickly 
covered with cup-shaped flowers, white inside and pur¬ 
plish pink outside. Its growing popularity attests to its 
worth and beauty. See color illustration on fourth cover. 
M. stellata. Star Magnolia. 10 to 12 ft. The dazzling 
white, star-shaped flowers appear on the bare, twiggy 
branches early in the spring or even in a warm spell in 
midwinter. They are very fragrant and numerous. This 
much-branched, compact shrub begins to flower when 
small. See color illustration on fourth cover. 
M. tripetala. Umbrella Magnolia. 40 to 60 ft. A fast¬ 
growing shade tree with huge leaves, large blooms, and 
nice symmetrical proportions. 
MAHONIA Aquifolium. Oregon Holly-Grape. 3 to 4 ft. 
A striking plant throughout the year but especially so 
in May when the yellow flowers appear. The shining 
green leaves, which turn a rich scarlet in autumn, and 
the blue-black fruits are almost equally attractive. It 
does best in half shade. 
M. Bealei. Leatherleaf Holly-Grape. 3 to 5 ft. This plant 
is well known for its beautiful holly-like foliage and its 
shade-loving nature. Its blue-black fruit is striking and 
unusual. Formerly known as Mabonia japonica. 
M. pinnata (fascicularis). Cluster Holly-Grape. 4 to 6 ft. 
More striking in appearance and larger in growth than 
Aquifolium. Its leaves are dark green, shining, and rather 
spiny. The fruit is dark blue.
