The  Catalpas 
These  are  all  effective,  tropical-looking  lawn  trees  that  flower  showingly  in  July.  Their 
leaves  are  large,  glossy  and  heart-shaped.  The  long  beans  of  some  of  the  varieties  are  odd  and 
interesting.   They  do  well  in  exposed  situations  and  meager  soils.  Popular  in  commercial  and 
ornamental  planting.  The  Catalpas  grow  rapidly,  giving  quick  results.  As  an  ornamental  flowering 
tree  for  midsummer  they  are  not  easily  surpassed.

are  buried  under  a  wealth  of  bloom,  which  is 
strung  all  along  the  branches.  They  have 
good  dense  foliage,  and,  with  the  exception
