The New Pink Broom
A Garden Corner.
is always welcomed when it is allied to merit, and both these qualities are united in the subject of this note—Cytisus Dallemorei—a new pink broom which is now available here in young plants. A plant of this fine shrub imported some years ago, which I have had under observation, is living up to its reputation. It grows only about 3ft high, forming a compact bush, and flow’ers as freely as the old white variety. The flowers are rather larger and of a lovely salmon pink colour, so that a healthy bush will add a distinctly new colour feature to the border or shrubbery. There are now many fine hybrids in these dwarf Brooms on the English market. Dallemorei and Dorothy Walpole being the best so far to reach this country. Rock garden enthusiasts will welcome C. Kewensis, a creamy dwarf white, when it reaches here, but the trouble with these hybrid brooms to the amateur is difficulty in propogation. T. D. LENNIE.
