Few of these plants are of any beauty : some of them 

 flower freely, but their flowers are wholly yellow, even to the 

 pistils and stamens. They are all of easy culture in light 

 loam, and are increased by dividing at the root in some 

 cases, by seeds in others, and in all by cuttings in sand, and 

 covered with a crystal bell. 



A'scY^RUM pumilum, dwarf A'scy^um, a perennial, intro- 

 duced from Georgia in 1806, and flowering from June to 

 August.

 introduced from North America in 1759, and flowering in 

 July.

 shrub from North America, introduced in 1759, and 

 flowering from July to September. 



A. sfdns, large-flowered A'scy^rum, an undershrub, a na- 

 tive of North America, introduced in 1806, and flowering 

 from July to August. 



These plants, like the Hypericums, are of no beauty, and 

 their culture and propagation are the same as for that genus.
