LONICERA. Bush Honeysuckle 
Desirable free-blooming shrubs of erect habit of growth and easiest culture in 
any common soil. The ornamental fruit and fragrant flowers are points of merit 
and in the various sorts the fruits present a great variety of colors. The upright¬ 
growing, dense kinds make admirable hedge plants and admit of vigorous pruning. 
L. fragrantissima. Chinese Fragrant Bush Honeysuckle. (M) A vig¬ 
orous grower of rather straggling habit. The pinkish white flowers in early 
spring are very fragrant and its dark green foliage is retained late in the winter— 
sometimes in sheltered locations all winter. The plant is not particular as to 
soil or situation and is absolutely hardy. 
L. Morrowi. Japanese Bush Honeysuckle. ( M ) A strong grower, with 
foliage dark green above, grayish beneath. Pure white flowers in May and 
June are followed by bright red fruits, ripening in August and remaining all fall. 
L. orientalis. (L) One of the strongest growers of this class. Pink 
blossoms in May and June and black fruit early in the fall. 
L. Ruprechtiana. ( L) A tall, rapid grower. Foliage dark green above 
grayish beneath; pure white flowers, in long peduncles in May and June, are 
followed by red or orange-red fruits. 
L. Standishi. Standish’s Honeysuckle. (M) A spreading bush with 
half evergreen foliage. The fragrant creamy white flowers appear before the 
leaves in spring, and the fruits in autumn are scarlet and very showy. • 
L. Tatarica (rubra). (L) A strong grower, with dark green foliage and 
crimson flowers in May and June, followed by brilliant crimson fruit. 
L. Tatarica, var. alba. ( L ) Similar to L. Tatarica , but with large pure 
white flowers ; fruit crimson. 
L. Tatarica, var. gracilis. (M) A form with smaller foliage and small, 
fragrant pure white flowers in May and June, followed by orange-red fruits. 
L. Tatarica, var. splendens. ( L ) In this form both the leaves and the 
deep pink flowers are larger than the type. Fruits are deep red. 
LYCIUM 
L. Chinense. Matrimony Vine. (M) A very hardy shrub with slender, 
spiny stems. The foliage is grayish green and the flowers, lasting from June 
until September, vary from pink to purple, and are set all along the drooping 
branches. The fall fruits are scarlet or orange-red. An excellent plant for 
covering banks, planting in wild or rocky places, or along the top of walls 
where the branches can hangover. It climbs well and gives magnificent effects. 
MYRICA 
M. cerifera. Wax Myrtle. (M) A vigorous shrub with dark green, 
fragrant foliage which is held almost throughout the winter. The reddish 
flowers in May and the white, waxy berries which follow are not very showy, 
and its chief charm is the pleasing foliage. It thrives in the sandiest locations 
and is of special value. Excellent for seashore planting.
