. Our northern shrubs and how to identify them : a handbook for the nature-lover . Shrubs. HONEYSUCKLE FAMILY The Tartarian Honeysuckles are most attractive bushes. One of their best features is the graceful out- line of a finely-grown individual when the branches bend outward and downward almost to the grass. The flowers of the different varieties are white, pink, rose, or deep red, and possess a pleasant fragrance. They come into leaf early ; the foliage is luxuriant and re- mains until late in the autumn ; and the red or orange berries are very abundant and extremely ornamental. The berries have the translucent appearance of cur- rants ; in flavor they are a sweetish bitter, with the bitter inclined to remain somewhat unduly in the mouth. The birds seem to eat them very little, con- sequently they adorn the bushes for a considerable period. INVOLUCRED FLY-HONEYSUCKLE Lonltera involncrata.
