16 Mrs. Theodosia B. Shepherd's Annual Catalogue 



Genista Monosperma Pendula. 



Bridal Veil. One of the most beautiful half hardy shrubs in culti- 

 vation. It forms a larg-e plant with long- pendulous, silvery green branches 

 without foliage. The}' are finely divided, round and rush-like. The 

 flowers are small, white pea-shaped, with a little flush on the petals, and 

 are borne on two little spikes, from 1 to 2 inches in length, alternating 

 on opposite sides of the stems; they are very close together, sometimes 15 

 flowers to a spike; are exquisitely fragrant. A plant 3 or 4 years from 

 seed wil cover a space from 12 to 15 feet square, or more. The plant has a 

 cloud-like, misty effect that makes it ver} r attractive. Nothing could be 

 more beautiful for contrast in shrubbery on large places. It has been 

 likened to a bridal veil. 10c pkt. 



Eldorado. A very pretty g-enista of spreading habit, that is com- 

 pletely covered with long- spikes of soft, golden-yellow flowers all the 

 year. 10c pkt.
