yellow." It is a | | |rare shrub, but should not | | |be so. Mr. Goldring writes | | |of it in "The Garden" as | | |follows: "The Moonlight | | |Brown is a very | | |old variety, as it was | | |described by Loudon sixty | | |years ago, but it is still | | |a rare shrub, not easily | | |obtainable, though it is | | |grown in some of the | | |largest nurseries. | | |Its pale yellow flowers are | | |in beautiful harmony with | | |the rich yellow of the type | | |Andreanus. The only private | | |garden where I have seen it | | |in established mass is that | | |of Mrs. Robb at Liphook, | | |where all kinds of tree and | | |shrub varieties are | | |treasured. I do not know if | | |it comes true from seed, | | |but I fancy not." | | | C. s. flore-pleno |Variety |Yellow |A so-called double variety | | |in which some of the petals | | |are duplicated, but it is | | |not finer than the type, | | |though it is interesting as | | |one of the few double | | |varieties in pea-shaped | | |flowers. -------------------+----------------+----------+---------------------------
