Honeysuckles.—For real home vines, to be near you, climbing over your windows and doorways, there is nothingprettier than fine, sweet-scented Honeysuckles; the foliage is pretty, neat and clean, the flowers almost continuous, and theirfragrance delicious. The varieties described below are the very best. Honeysuckle Hedges.—Some of our friends have conceived the idea of planting Honeysuckles along the divisionfences, and it is wonderful what pretty hedges they make. Iron or wire fences are the best, but almost any kind is sooncovered with a mantle of living green, making a very pretty and cheap border for lawns, drives, parks, cemeteries, etc. Otherclimbing vines will answer the same purpose, but the sweet-scented Honeysuckles are both fragrant and beautiful. Theyshould be planted two feet apart. Price, strong plants of the following varieties, by Express, $1.50 per doz.; $10 per 100. remaining
