 handsome bushy shrub, with yellow flowers in May; cultivated since 1752,

 principally, to their being so little known ; the generality of gardeners not 

 being sufficiently acquainted with plants, particularly hardy shrubs, to be 

 enabled to select a pleasing variety, but fill their shrubberies with a great num- 

 ber of common things, of very few sorts, many of which are altogether use- 

 less, instead of selecting a pleasing variety, which would scarcely cost more, 

 and would require no more care or trouble in cultivation." — Alstrcemen'a
