This shrub has succeeded admirably in a south- 
west angle of the house. It requires the protection 
of mats and ashes in winter. In the late summer 
it makes a fine show of yellow blossoms, which last 
till the November frosts begin.

To compensate for the covering of snow, which 
this little plant loves, and of which it is deprived 
in the South of England, we mulch it each year, 
adding peat and sand, and plant it in a shaded 
corner, w r here it thrives. 
CASTANOPSIS. Cupulilerae. 
C. chrysophylla. Golden Chestnut. California and 
Oregon. 
Height 12 feet. Growing in a sheltered and some- 
what shaded border, which keeps the full strength 
of the sun from the trunk. It flowers in August, 
and a small chestnut burr then forms. It has 
never been damaged by frost here, in the Wall 
Garden.
