10 Red Tartarian Honeysuckle 2 Yr., $1.00, Postpaid 
RED TARTARIAN HONEYSUCKLE. A very 
popular ornamental hedge which speaks for 
itself. Perfectly hardy, of upright bush form, 
growing to a height of 12 to 14 feet at maturity, 
making the very best windbreak. Its greyish 
white wood is beautiful at all seasons of the 
year. Its glossy leather foliage, so thick that a 
chicken can’t get through it, its ability to 
stand heavy trimming and cutting back, 
makes it most desirable for hedging purposes. 
Its hardiness, its rapid growth, its immense 
number of pink and red flowers coming early 
in May, are followed by a big crop of red 
berries that last until early winter and a 
paradise for birds. A favorite shrub that is 
absolutely hardy in any portion of the United 
States. Will grow with little or no care and 
lasts a lifetime. Every home should have a 
hedge, driveway or windbreak of this robust 
and beautiful bush honeysuckle. One of the

100.
