B. PRODUCING FLOWERS IN EARLY SPRING AFTER THE LEAVES AP- 

 PEAR. Through a careful selection of plants the season of bloom from 

 flowering trees and shrubs can be made almost continuous. There 

 are many trees and shrubs which flower during the early spring after 

 the leaves appear. Only those trees and shrubs which produce an
