of being covered with hair or thick “fuzz,” is now offered for the first time.

pies; it makes a very pretty shrub, and is of special interest botanically.Jo 25 Si 00

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 Hyperi¬ 
cum (II. aureum) of marvelous show and beauty. It grows erect, 3 or 
4 feet high, forming 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 appearance. The 
large orange-yellow flowers are two inches across when expanded.” Prof. C. 
S. Sargent, director of Arnold Arboretum, says: “There are few dwarf 
shrubs better worth a place in the garden.” Each.
