All yellow-flowered, except where otherwise mentioned. 

 The hardier ones flourish in common and sandy loam, 

 and the more tender in loam and peat. Annuals, sow in 

 the open border, in March ; herbaceous, sow and divide 

 the plants in spring ; shrubs are easily divided, as they 

 stole freely, and also by seeds ; greenhouse and frame 

 kinds, by divisions, but chiefly by cuttings of young 

 shoots in sand, under glass ; most of them, if protected 

 in winter, would grow against a wall. For exposed 

 places the following are the best shrubby ones : Ela'tum, 

 hirci'num, calyci'num, kalmia'num, and proli'ficum.
