BUSH HONEYSUCKLE 
When Honey- 
suckle is mentioned, one’s mind usually 
turns to the well-known vine type. There 
are, however, some attractive bush varie- 
ties and this is one of the most popular. 
It is hardy, very adaptable as to soil and 
location, and bears a pleasing crop of pink 
flowers in June. It is doubly attractive 
because of the scarlet berries which ap- 
pear in July and remain for a long time. 
Unless it is kept pruned it will grow about 
10 feet high with a wide spread.
