LONICERA - Upright Honeysuckle 
A group of very desirable shrubs, valued for their showy, 
often fragrant flowers, and decorative fruit. They are easy 
to cultivate and not particular as to soil. In general prefer 
open, sunny situations, although some do well in partial 
shade. Shrub forms are valuable for use in mixed shrub 
plantings or for screening purposes, some attaining large 
size if grown as a single specimen with ample room for 
development. 
Lonicera fragrantissima (Winter Honeysuckle). A stout, 
half evergreen shrub growing to 8ft., handsome, leathery 
leaves. It is valued for its sweet-scented, creamy-white 
flowers in early Spring and its leaves which remain green 
well into Winter. Prefers an open, sunny location. 
L. morrowi (Morrow Honeysuckle). An attractive, wide- 
spreading shrub of distinctive habit growing to 8 ft.; 
flowers white-yellow and blood red fruit. The leaves 
hang on and continue green until late Fall. Because of 
its spreading habit and vigorous growth, it is much used 
on slopes. 
L. korolkowi (Blucleaf Honeysuckle). A most distinctive 
form of the bush type of Honeysuckle, because of its 
attractive blue-green and light pink flowers. Grows to 
a large rounded bush up to 12 ft. 
L. maacki (Amur or Late Honey- 
suckle). The last Honeysuckle to 
come into bloom. A stout, upright 
grower to about 15 ft. with large, 
dark green leaves. Has very con- 
spicuous, large, white-yellow flowers 
followed with dark red fruits, ripen 
in September. An excellent variety 
for trees and mixed shrub borders. 
L. tatarica alba (White Tatarian 
Honeysuckle). One of the best 
known of the Honeysuckle family. 
Bears a profusion of creamy white 
flowers, followed by dark red fruit. 
Blooms in May and June, fast grow- 
ing to a height of 8 ft. Adaptable 
to many kinds of soil and tolerates 
some shade. 
L. tatarica rosea (Tatarian Honey- 
suckle, Rosy). Another species of 
the Tatarian Honeysuckle but with 
flowers, rosy-pink outside and paler 
within, followed by dazzling red 
fruit.

PHILADELPHUS 
Mockorange 
Deciduous shrubs, mostly medium 
in size, valued for their great display 
of white or creamy flowers in the early 
Summer. They are not particular to 
soil, providing that it is not soggy or 
poor, and stand shade better than most 
flowering shrubs. Available in several 
varieties. 
Philadelphus coronarius (Sweet 
Mockorange). The most fragrant of 
all Mockoranges with creamy-white 
flowers completely covering it in 
June. Grows to a height of 8 ft. and 
one of the first to flower in season. 
P. coronarius aureus (Golden Mock- 
orange). A vigorous, large growing 
shrub, spreading branches § to 10 ft. 
tall. Flowers are slightly scented, 
borne in dense racemes, a little later 
than other Mockoranges. Brilliant 
yellow foliage holding its color well 
into the season. Good for contrast 
with dark leaf shrubs. 
P. grandiflorus (Big Scentless Mock- 
orange). A hybrid orgination of 
Mockorange and one of the most 
handsome of the larger kinds with 
clusters of pure white flowers often 3 in. across, slightly 
fragrant. Adaptable to various soil conditions. Excep- 
tionally hardy and free from diseases. 
P. lemoine (Lemoine Mockorange). A smaller type shrub 
with slender branches, fine leaves and producing an 
abundance of small white flowers which makes them 
seem like a large bouquet in June and July. It isa highly 
desirable type for a low growing shrub or in locations 
where a shrub not exceeding 5 ft. is desired. 
P. virginalis (Virginal Mockorange). A very popular hy- 
brid Mockorange. Has waxy, semi-double flowers, grow- 
ing to the largest size and most fragrant of all Mock- 
orange. Blooms for a long period. The shrub sometimes 
reaches 10 ft. in height and has rather large, light green 
leaves. Particularly desirable plant for specimen 
purposes. 
P. Mont Blanc (Mockorange). A charming variety of 
Mockorange of the dwari habit, having very large, single 
snow-white flowers, exceptionally fragrant. Produces in 
great abundance. Grows to a height of about 5 ft.
