LONICERA — HONEYSUCKLE 
The fragrant flowers and ornamental fruits of the 
Honeysuckle make them valuable for use in mixed 
shrub plantings or for screening purposes. Some 
varieties, with beautiful green foliage, are almost 
evergreen. Branches of the Winter Honeysuckle, if 
cut in February or March and placed in water indoors, 
will send out foliage and fragrant blossoms.
