‘Sometimes called Spanish Gorse. Exceedingly dense rounded evergreen about 
2 feet high spreading 3 to 4 feet. Shapely and attractive in the flower and in 
the foliage which conceals numerous thin sharp spines. Like the tiger’s velvety 
paw, the fine foliage completely conceals the ferocious claws hidden under- 
neath. Hardy and has unexcelled merit for special plantings. A splendid shrub.

Genista prostata 
The densest and most compact of all creeping brooms. Grows to a height of 
18 inches and so completely covers the ground that weeds cannot come 
through. Branches are small, gracefully fall over the ground, taking root, 
and so the plant spreads in a solid mass. Remarkably good for covering 
banks or slopes. Flowers are yellow and plentiful, and the foliage is fine 
green at all seasons.
