Lonicera tatarica 
KERRIA japonica flora-plena 
Double Kerria 
Vigorous in growth, with double Chrys- 
anthemum-like yellow flowers in June 
and appearing more or less throughout 
the summer. 
LIGUSTRUM amurense Amur Privet 
An upright plant similar to the better- 
known California Privet, but more hardy. 
Makes a very fine formal hedge or screen 
and, like all the Privets, endures semi- 
shade. 
L. Ibolium Ibolium Privet 
The most satisfactory of all the Privets 
for hedges. It has the large, glossy foli- 
age of the California variety, and the 
spreading habit and hardiness of the 
Ibota. We believe that this will soon sup- 
plant the California, which is not always 
dependable. 
L. Ibota Ibota Privet 
In this variety the branches are more 
spreading, and if unsheared will grow 
10 feet tall. .Has a rather showy lilac- 
like white flower and in the fall and 
winter is covered with blue-black berries 
attractive to the birds. Very valuable for 
screen and border planting, as well as a 
fine hedge plant. 
L. obtusifolium Regelianum Regel Privet 
A low shrub with branches that are al- 
most horizontal. It has dense foliage, and 
its graceful habit of growth makes it a 
fine variety for foundation and border 
planting, as well as for hedges. 
L. ovalifolium California Privet 
Probably the most popular hedge plant, 
but unfortunately less hardy than the 
other Privets. Handsome, upright growth 
with dark glossy green leaves.

LINDERA benzoin Spicebush 
This is a native of our eastern states and 
does well in moist half-shaded locations. 
Grows 10 to 12 feet tall. Attractive in 
early spring before the leaves with bright 
yellow flowers later producing scarlet ber- 
ries sought after by the birds. Yellow 
autumn foliage. Good for naturalizing. 
Leaves and twigs are aromatic. 
LONICERA bella albida 
White Belle Honeysuckle 
Upright, spreading shrub, usually grow- 
ing 6 to 8 feet tall. Small, pinkish white 
flowers in May, followed in August and 
September by a grand profusion of red 
berries. This attractive shrub grows in 
any soil and likes a sunny location. Birds 
are very fond of the fruits. 
L. fragrantissima Winter Honeysuckle 
Early in the spring, before the foliage, 
numerous small, very sweet scented flow- 
ers appear. The rich green foliage per- 
sists until midwinter. 
L. Korolkowi floribunda 
Blue-Leaf Honeysuckle 
Tall, broad-headed shrub with striking 
blue-gray foliage which contrasts beauti- 
fully with its abundance of dainty pink 
flowers in May. Blooms are followed by 
bright red fruits. A valuable addition to 
any border if given plenty of room. 
L. Maacki Amur Honeysuckle 
In the fall this plant is highly orna- 
mental, with its great number of bright 
red berries. Tall growing; indifferent to 
soil conditions but likes a sunny location. 
L. Morrowi Morrow Honeysuckle 
Wide spreading branches, growing about 
6 feet tall. Pretty white flowers in May 
followed by large quantities of blood-red 
fruits in August. 
L. syringantha Wolfi 
Lilac Honeysuckle 
Dwarf, low growing variety with 
spreading, graceful branches that lie 
close to the ground. Numerous fra- 
grant, pale rosy lilac flowers that last 
a long time. Fine for bank plantings 
or in the foreground of shrub borders. 
L. tatarica alba 
White Tatarica Honeysuckle 
The chief characteristics of all the 
tatarica Honeysuckles are the great 
abundance of small flowers and red 
fruits that follow. Grows rapidly up 
to 10 feet in most any soil or location. 
This variety has white flowers. 
L. tatarica grandiflora rosea 
Bride Honeysuckle 
Similar to preceding varieties, but 
having slightly larger, delicate pink 
flowers. 
L. tatarica rubra 
Red Tartarian Honeysuckle 
Same characteristics as all the Tar- 
tarian yarieties, with deep rose-pink, 
almost red flowers.

LONICERA xylosteum 
European Fly Honeysuckle 
Tall growing with yellowish white flowers 
in May followed by quantities of dark 
red berries in August. 
L. Zabelli Zabell Honeysuckle 
By far the best red flowering Honey- 
suckle. Strong upright growth with large 
persistent red fruit in August. 
MYRICA carolinensis Bayberry 
Very attractive shrub of medium height, 
with dark green, aromatic foliage. In 
winter its compact clusters of waxy, gray- 
ish white berries are very conspicuous. 
Particularly valuable for planting in dry, 
sandy, sterile soil. 
PHILADELPHUS coronarius Mock Orange 
The old-fashioned Mock Orange that 
everybody knows and admires. Grows to 
10 feet, and in June is a solid mass of 
white blooms which are delightfully fra- 
grant. This variety will stand partial 
shade. 
P.. coronarius foliis aureis 
Golden Mock Orange 
A dwarf form with bright yellow foliage 
which holds its color throughout the sum- 
mer. 
P. grandiflorus Big Scentless Mock Orange 
Tall, vigorous shrub similar to Coro- 
narius, with larger flowers but not so 
fragrant. 
P. Lemoinei Lemoine Mock Orange 
Very popular, graceful, medium growing 
shrub, bearing clusters of fragrant white 
flowers in June. Should be included in 
every shrub planting. 
P. Lemoinei, Albatre Albatre Mock Orange 
One of the famous Lemoine hybrids. Me- 
dium height shrub. Large pure white 
single or semi-double flowers. Very sim- 
ilar to Virginal. Some folks like it better 
than Virginal because of its symmetrical 
habit of growth. 
P. L., Bouquet Blanc 
A medium height shrub of dense habit. 
White flowers borne in bouquet-like clus- 
ters.
