DAVIDIA INVOLUCRATA— DOVE TREE 



Dr. Ernest H. Wilson describes the Dove Tree in his book "Aristocrats of 

 the Garden" as follows: "The distinctive beauty of the Davidia is in two 

 snow-white connate bracts which subtend the flower proper. They are always 

 unequal in size — the larger six inches long by three inches broad, and the 

 smaller three and one half inches by two and one half inches; they range up 

 to eight inches by four inches and five inches by three inches. At first 

 greenish, they become pure white as the flower matures, the flowers and 

 their attendant bracts are pendulous on fairly long stalks, and when stirred 

 by the slightest breeze they resemble large butterflies or small doves hovering 

 amongst the trees and are so freely borne that the tree from a distance, 

 looks as if flecked with snow." 



This is undoubtedly one of the most interesting trees grown. We have 

 been unable to accumulate any sizeable stock, the interest being so great for 

 it. Last season we sold over 400 with only the name and price in our price 

 list. This season we have about 1000, probably again will not have enough. 

 Our price is very reasonable considering the scarcity.
