. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Rural School Leaflet I2II Solomon's seal.— The Solomon's seal is a perennial herb, with simple stem from creeping, .knotted rootstocks, naked below, bearing above nearly sessile or half-clasping, nerved leaves and axillary, nodding, green- ish flowers. The perianth is cylindrical and six-lobed at the summit. There are six stamens. The Solomon's seal takes its name from the scars of preceding stalks on the long, running rootstock. It belongs to the lily family and has for its near kin the lily, wake-robin, lily of the valley, asparagus, dog's- tooth violet, onion, and garlic. In the false Solomon's seal the blossoms are borne at the end of the stalk instead of in the axils of the leaves. Honeysuckle.— The honeysuckle is an erect or climbing shrub, with entire leaves, calyx teeth very short, and corolla tubular, funnel-form, more or less irregular, and often swollen on one side. The corolla is five-lobed, with five stamens inserted on the tube. The flowers are often showy and fragrant. The fruit, a one- to several-seeded berry, is often formed by the ovaries of two adjacent flowers. There are about one hundred species of honeysuckle in the North Temperate Zone, and a few species in tropical regions. The purple or pink azalea is sometimes called the wild honeysuckle, but this belongs to the heath family. In the honeysuckle family we find the American and red-berried elder, hobble-bush, cranberry tree, maple-leaved arrow-wood, nannyberry, black haw, horse gentian, American twin-flower, and Honeysuckle.
