The improved brooms, which are of both American and English origination, are among 
the most popular of recent introductions in the garden. For rich, gorgeous coloring and 
varying shades and tints in the different varieties they have no equal. Among the flowers 
may be found white, purple, crimson, orange, yellow, bronze, cream, mahogany, pink or 
combinations of these that are unsurpassed. In habit of growth they range from low 
trailers to tall upright types. Some of them will withstand a low degree of temperature 
and all will grow under adverse conditions and thrive under more neglect than most 
shrubs. They should be included in practically all plantings. We call attention to our 
fine list. They are classified in this list under Cytisus, Genista, and Spartium.
