12 THE TINGLE NURSERY CO. 
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, 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.

This nursery was started just 53 years ago by the present 
owner. We have made many mistakes but we believe our 
customers will agree that we have always tried to give a 
dollar in value for every dollar received. This will be our 
aim as long as The Tingle Nursery Co. stays in business. 
If you have any reason for complaint, tell us.
