The Rare Franklinia 



A Very Unusual Flowering Tree 



Each twig develops at its tip a cluster of buds of graduated 

 size, like overgrown 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, sno'wy 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.
