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 intéresting 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.
