The Rare Franklinia 



Each twig develops at its tip a cluster of buds of graduated size, like over- 

 grown greenish pearls. Early in August the largest of these attain the size of 

 marbles. Then the guard petal folds back, still retaining its firm spherical 

 form. From this shelter emerges four other petals, satiny, snowy white, 

 elaborately frilled and pleated. The snowy, frilly chalice, three inches in 

 diameter, holds a sumptuous mass of orange-gold stamens and breathes 

 forth a delicate, balmy fragrance. 



Each flower lasts two or three days and then drops cleanly. There is a 

 constant succession of blooms till hard frost. We frequently get the unusual 

 effect of a tree clad in crimson, autumn foliage and abundantly starred with 

 white flowers. 



The Franklinia begins blooming when not more than 3 or 4 feet high. 

 Young trees under favorable conditions increase in height a foot or more 

 each season. Specimens 30 feet high are known. It develops naturally with 

 several trunks, but may easily be trained to a single trunk by removing the 

 sprouts which start from the base. 



Franklinia prefers full sun, has proved entirely hardy about New York 

 and hardy in favorable locations about Boston, Mass., and in Ohio. 



We have found the Franklinia does much better if it has plenty of 

 moisture at planting time. See color picture 4th cover page.
