DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
A low growing shrub, producing nume- 
rous branches, and spreading much, but not 
often exceeding two or three feet in height. 
It flowers during the greater part of the 
summer, making a very pretty appearance. 
Being a native of Austria, it is quite hardy, 
and flourishes in any ordinary soil. The 
seeds usually ripen in abundance, whereby 
it is multiplied with the greatest facility. It 
is said to have been first introduced about 
the year 1774.
