 yellow flowers completely cover the 

 branches in such masses that they literally 

 bend with their weight. It would not be 

 far amiss to say that it produces twice the 

 number of blossoms of the common

 cheerful display in your garden in early- 

 spring, plant a few Forsythia Spring Glory.

 cymes of golden flowers at the end of every shoot of the summer's new growth. It flowers
