Thank you for the information, Mark!  Tartarian is still being sold in garden
centers here.  Looks like I need to start a crusade.  And thanks for pointing
out the magazine article.  I have that issue in a tall stack of things I need
to read (so many books, so 
little time).  I am going to read it as soon as I sign off.  It's the May-June
1998 issue of American Gardener, the magazine of the American Horticultural
Society, for the rest of you who also may have missed it.

 and Blackhaw Viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium).    >>
 
Sounds great!  Good choices.  

Not only is honeysuckle taking over our woodlands, but my neighbors on both
sides are cultivating it (vines to the south, shrubs to the north) so it's
trying to take over my yard, too!  I have ordered lots of Rhus aromatica
(Fragrant Sumac) for fall planting.  It is a wonderful native
understory/groundcover shrub that seems so far to be competing with the
honeysuckle in the wild.  Do you have it in Ohio?  --Janis
