HYPERICUM aureum. A rare species, and the finest of all this 
family of plants. Bartram, the discoverer of this rare shrub, gives 
a good description of it in his "Travels." He says : "I observed 
* * * a species of shrub Hypericum (//. aureum), of extraordi- 
nary show and beauty. It grows erect, three or four feet high, form- 
ing a globular top, representing a perfect little tree ; the leaves are 
large, oblong, firm of texture, smooth and shining ; the flowers are 
very large, their petals broad and conspicuous, which, with their 
tufts of golden filaments, give the little bushes a very splendid ap- 
pearance. The large orange-yellow flowers are two inches across 
when expanded." Prof. C. S. Sargent, director of Arnold Arbore- 
tum, says: "There are fevv dwarf shrubs better worth a place in 
the garden." Fine blooming plants, 12 to 18 inches 50 
3 H, fasciculatum. Another fine species, three to five feet high, with 
smaller leaves and flowers than the preceding, though a somewhat 
freer bloomer. Forms a compact bush, and is very showy when 
full of its bright yellow blossoms, which almost completely cover 
the bush in July and August. Very desirable as a small ornamental.
