How many of you have ever had a 

 breath of its spiciness? For hardiness it 

 iust about holds its own at Richmond, 

 Va. [Not uncommon at Washington.

 It is deciduous, and in winter itiscovered 

 with small dull yellowish flowers which 

 are among the mojt delightfully fragrant 

 in the universe. Although it is rather a 

 sprawling shrub, b_v pinching in its shoots

 south edge of a rhododendron bed. About
