| | |pendulous branches, with
| | |little or no foliage except
| | |when the wood is quite
| | |young. The flowers are of a
| | |rich golden-yellow, and
| | |during the series of hot
| | |summers we have experienced
| | |in recent years have been
| | |especially abundant. It
| | |would, indeed, be difficult
| | |to find a shrub better
| | |adapted for hot, light
| | |soils than this, a fact
| | |that is amply proved by the
| | |way it succeeds at Kew. It
| | |is a good plant for
| | |associating with
| | |medium-sized evergreens,
| | |which hide its bare stems
| | |and render it more
| | |effective when in flower.
| | |It grows 10 feet to 14 feet
| | |high, and is thus one of
| | |the tallest--if not the
| | |tallest--of the Brooms
| | |hardy in Britain. It ripens
| | |seed freely, and is best
| | |propagated by that means.
