 ney Vetch. Legumlnbs(e. Pereimial herbs, or some- 

 what shrubby, prized for their spikes or heads of yel- 

 low, purple or white fls. and usually silky pinnate foli- 

 age ; also for forage. In the Old World, prized mostly 

 for rockwork. The cult, is the easiest, as the plants 

 thrive even in poor soil. Prop, by seeds or division, or, 

 rarely, by soft cuttings. Not generally known in U. S.

 foot high : Ifts. 5 or more : fls. normally yellow, but 

 there are red and white varieties. Eu. — A deep-rooted, 

 clover-like, hardy plant, excellent for sandy and light
