6 THE SARCOXIE NURSERIES PEONY FIELDS 
Shrubs, continued 
Honeysuckle, Bush; Lonicera 
Those only acquainted with the climbing honeysuckle should 
plant some of the bush form for their beauty of foliage, profu- 
sion of flowers in latter April, and abundant, brilliant fruit, 
about the size of a currant, often even more showy than the 
flowers, in June, when we have few ornamental berries. An ex- 
cellent specimen shrub and good for screen plantings, because 
compact in growth, with neat foliage retained late. Of easy 
culture; suitable for partial shade. Should have sufficient space 
to develop naturally. Prune if necessary after blooming which, 
however, reduces the number of berries that year. Usually 
grows 6 to 8 ft. high. 
Fragrantissima; Winter Honeysuckle. Its very early small 
flowers are so numerous and fragrant they scent the whole gar 
den; buds pink on the outside, opening creamy-white to blush, 
followed by scarlet berries. Foliage half evergreen. Blooms in 
early March, sometimes February. The branches are easily 
forced into bloom in the house in latter January. 
Morrowi; Japan Honeysuckle. Flowers white, changing to 
yellow, followed by bright red berries in summer. A round 
headed shrub with wide spreading, willowy branches, attaining a 
height of 4 to 6 ft. Leaves 1 to 2 in. long, gray-green. 
Pulcherrima. Deep pink, almost red. 
Wheeling. A neat, compact shrub of vigorous growth, with 
pretty bright green foliage appearing in early spring and remain- 
ing until late autumn; attains a height of about 8 ft. Flowers 
in pairs at the base of the leaf-stems, deep pink, almost red, fol- 
lowed by an abundance of red berries. One of the best of the 
Tartarian varieties. 
White Bush; Bella albida._ Flowers white; red berries in 
summer.

Hydrangea Hills of Snow; H. arborescens grandiflora 
When the shrub flowers of spring are gone, this Hydrangea, 
well named for its profusion of large, somewhat globular white 
flower heads, renews the floral display in June, brightening a 
scene that otherwise might fall into summer dullness. Cut the 
blooms off as they turn green and it will bloom a long time. 
In sunny situations the shoots are stronger, though it gives good 
results in partial shade or the north side of a building. Pruning 
nearly to the ground each spring keeps the bushes dense and 
rather round, witha height of 3 to 5 ft. The new shoots bear 
ithe flowers, and the more they are cut back the stronger the 
growth and the larger the flower heads. Give it fertile soil and 
plenty of water while ‘looming
