AAOONS SHRUBS 



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" transplants easily, and is orna- 

 mental in leaf as well as flower. It is useful for 

 almost any purpose, but indispensable in groups 

 and masses. Flowers of all varieties are similar in 

 form and color. See illustration below

F. yiridissima. (M). April. Erect shoots, 

 spreading branches and narrow, bright, glossy

 splendid shrub for mass planting.
