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 b» 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 atten¬ 
tion to our fine list. They are classified in this list under Cytisus, Genista, and 
Spartium.
