Bladder Senna (Colutea) - These cannot be called choice flowering shrubs, but they are very useful for poor hungry soils, particularly for dry sunny banks, where few other plants can exist; they are excellent, too, in smoky districts.

It is excellent for the rock garden, the mixed border, and is well suited for the margins of beds of shrubs.

Where a very dwarf evergreen edging is required for a shrubbery, or for beds of shrubs, it is one of the best plants known, as on any soil it quickly forms spreading masses almost as low as the lawn-grass.

It is of easy culture, hardy in light soils, and valuable for bold groups in the mixed border, in the flower garden, or between choice shrubs and among hardy Fuchsias.

It would group well with the dwarfer shrubs, and in cool districts and on cool soils it will grow against warm walls.

A gentle hollow, or among shrubs on the sides of some sheltered glade, is the best place.

Chinese Jasmine (Trachelospermum) - Climbing shrubs with evergreen leaves and fragrant white flowers, hardy upon warm walls in favoured places.

It does well among shrubs or in borders of the best perennials, and groups of it so placed are very handsome.

Furze (Ulex) - The native Furze is so beautiful and is so well suited for clothing dry banks and the like that it should be included among flowering shrubs.
