Upright Honeysuckles in Bloom. 
I have never seen anything more striking than the display of the New Upright Honeysuckles in the Arnold Arboretum 
in Boston. These splendid shrubs are made a special feature in this famous botanical garden and nothing is more worthy 
of a prominent position. They delight thousands in the spring when they are covered with their charming sweet-scented 
flowers, but their great glory is at midsummer when they are loaded with the most brilliant and beautiful berries borne by any 
shrub. When they become known, I predict a popularity for these shrubs beyond that of the popular Hardy Hydrangea 
which is now sold by the hundreds of thousands. They have every good quality: Perfect hardiness, vigorous growth, 
beautiful rich green foliage that is as presistent as that of the California privet and this season was bright and green until 
almost Christmas and two distinct seasons of unsurpassed beauty. These must not be confused with the climbing Honey¬ 
suckles so extensively used for covering porches. They are vigorous upright growing shrubs suitable for large groups, 
specimens, screens or untrimmed hedges. I have been offering these shrubs for two or three years but could only obtain a 
few plants at a high price. I now control a stock of a few thousand plants which, while they last, I will furnish at the 
following low prices : 
Lonicera, Bella Candida, each 30 cents, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100. 
“ “ Rosea, “ 30 “ 3.00 “ 20.00 “ 
** “ Albida, “ 30 11 3.00 “ 20.00 “ 
A few large plants, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen.
