HARDY HYDRANGEA. 
HONEYSUCKLE. 
The different varieties of the Honeysuckle are esteemed among the most desirable 
hardy climbers. Certain it is that the associations connected with the fragrant honey¬ 
suckle will make it always popular. Among flowers none has been more written about 
than this, none more prized by people, prince or poet. Its common, or, rather, poetic, 
name is Woodbine, the botanical name is Lonicera, given in honor of a German botanist.

— Jean Ingelow- 
There are few plants whose flowers 
so perfectly combine large size and 
delicacy as the Hollyhock. Its flow¬ 
ers are quite as double, and almost 
as pure and perfect as those of the 
Camellia, and when we remember 
that they mass around a column 
from three to five feet in height, we 
get some idea of their beauty. Seeds 
sown in the spring produce plants 
that will bloom the second summer. 
We have excellent, healthy young 
plants, grown from seed, that will 
flower the first summer, and usually 
for two or three summers after. 
The colors are nicely assorted, so that 
almost every color, from white to 
purple, may be expected. Give the 
plants a light covering of coarse 
litter for winter protection.
