HONEYSUCKLE.
The different varieties of the Honeysuckle are
esteemed among the most desirable hardy climb-
ers. The botanical name is Lonicera. These
plants grow with great freedom in any good gar-
den soil. Hall's Japan Honeysuckle is remark-
able for the persistency of its leaves, the foliage
usually remaining green and apparently perfect
long after severe freezing weather, frequently, in
this climate, until sometime in January. On this
account it is very desirable to train over a porch.
