FLOWERING TREES 189 



known far and wide for the white and pink Crape Myrtles, which 

 fill the air with fragrance and delight the eye with beauty, all 

 through the long, hot Summer months. Another home is the 

 delight of all the passing throng in the early Spring, on account 

 of the wonderful vistas framed by its blossoming Dogwood trees, 

 both the white and the pink varieties. I might cite instance 

 after instance of places made beautiful and become famous by 

 massed plantings, but these are mentioned in passing, as it were, 

 to stress the suggestion that if you can only have a few shrubs or 

 trees you should plant those you select in worthy numbers, revel 

 in their beauty each recurring season and live on the memories 

 of them for the rest of the year.
