HARDY SHRUBS AND SHRUBBERIES 
“Golden Chain” 
This is one of the 
popular names applied 
to the family of Cytisus, 
which includes some 
handsome hardy shrubs 
beautifully adapted for 
bordering walks in shrub- 
beries and for other 
semi-wild situations, where 
they thrive and natural- 
ize quickly in light, dry- 
ish soils. The long, 
drooping branches are 
clothed almost from end 
to end with yellow, fra- 
grant blossoms. The 
variety illustrated above 
is C. praecox. 
A Rhododendron Walk 
Below we illustrate a walk bordered with various sorts of 
hardy Rhododendrons. These noble evergreen shrubs, when massed 
in such quantities, are unapproachably beautiful when in flower. 
The wealth of varied coloring is superb, contrasting magnificently 
against the deep rich green of the glossy, leathery foliage.
