Grows from one to three feet high, makes rather a dense bush, finely cut 
foliage, yellow pea-like flowers. Makes a fine low, dense hedge. This is 
rather rare and hard to get, and our own quantity is very limited, but we 
highly recommend this dwarf shrub. 15-18 in. 50c. We overlooked giving 
the price on Caragana arborescens, so here it is: 2-3 ft. 35c; 3-4 ft. 40c; 
4-5 ft. 50c. See also under hedging for quantity prices.
