Yellow A free -growing deciduous 

 shrub from 2 to 3 feet 

 high, with a mass of small 

 flowers, but not very showy. 

 It will grow in the shade 

 better than many other 

 shrubs. 



Yellow; I Reaches a height of about 4 



July and feet. The orange-yellow 



August flowers, about i^ inches 



across, have a large and 

 conspicuous mass of yellow 

 stamens in the centre. 



Yellow ; Forms a dense mass a foot 

 July to high, while the golden-yellow 



Autumn flowers are quite 3 inches 



across. The long hair-like 

 stamens are very numerous 

 and attractive. It will both 

 grow and flower well in shady 

 spots. 



Yellow Grows 4 to 5 feet high, and is 

 very robust. The flowers, 

 however, though freely borne, 

 are only about an inch in 

 diameter. 



Yellow ; When roughly handled the 



Autumn leaves of this species have 

 an unpleasant goat - like 

 odour, but it is decidedly 

 ornamental, forming as it 

 does a bush a yard high, 

 while the flowers are bright 

 yellow. 

 ' Rather more tender than 



Autumn I some of the Hypericums, 

 but a showy kind. It grows 

 over 4 feet high, and has 

 clusters of large golden 

 flowers. 



Yellow ; A hybrid between H. calycinum 

 early and H. patulum, and one 



Autumn of the most desirable of all 



the St. John's Worts. The 

 slender branches are grace- 

 ful, and terminated by clus- 

 ters of rich golden-yellow 

 flowers a couple of inches 

 across. 



Yellow A delightful little shrub, but 

 even in the south of England 

 it is liable to be killed by a 

 severe winter. 



Yellow j Grows 3 feet high, and bears 

 its clusters of blossoms 

 very freely. The individual 

 flowers are about an inch 

 across. 



Yellow Somewhat in the way of H. 

 patulum, and like that species 

 rather tender.
