 •FORSYTHIA, Golden Bell 



Spring Glory (New) . This new Forsythia is without question the loveliest of all the Golden 

 Bells. When 6een in bloom it is a sight not easily forgotten. Its large, pale yellow flowers com- 

 pletely 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 Forsythias. 

 Further, the pale yellow color is very pleasing and brilliant, infinitely more attractive and cheerful 

 than that of the varieties now in general use. If you desire a brilliant and cheerful display in 

 your garden in early spring, plant a few Forsythia Spring Glory. There is nothing which will 

 make you forget winter as quickly nor announce spring as flamboyantly.
