Forsythia: Golden Bells 



Familiar hardy shrubs that burst into bloom as 

 Winter is leaving. The bright golden yellow, star- 

 like flowers wrap themselves along the naked 

 branches in a wealth of bloom that is especially 

 bright and cheerful at such an early season. The 

 "Golden Bell" grows easily, and is ornamental in 

 leaf as well as flower. It is useful for almost any 

 purpose, but indispensable in groups and masses. 



Forsythia intermedia. (L). April. Slender, 

 erect or arching branches; narrow leaves and
