Henderson's new e\er-blooming hone\slckle. HENDERSON'S NEW EVER-BLOOMING HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera Hendersoni.) Origin.—During the summer of 1894 the raiser attemptea to hybridize «everal of the more common species together, but only secured a single fruit from L. fiichsioides crossed with L. Sullivanti, a native yellow-flowering species. The resulting plant, Lonicera Hendersoni, produces large clusters of yellow trumpet-shaped blooms, changing the second day to orange-red on every young twig throughout the entire growing season, thus becoming a true ever-bloomer. Both colors, red and yellow, show clearly in each cluster as long as it lasts. The plant is a healthy grower, with a tendency to climb very high. It makes • good companion with the Chinese Honeysuckle, on account of the great profusion of its brilliant flowers. It is quite sterile, producing no berries which probably accounts for its constant-blooming character. The clusters are larger and longer than the ordinary Honeysuckle, are borne on longer stalks, hold better, and are valuable for cut flowers. (See cut.)
