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 plantings. The 

 Catalpas grow rapidly, giving quick results. As an ornamental flowering tree for midsummer they are much 

 admired. 



Chinese, or Umbrella Catalpa 



Catalpa Bungei. (D). This is the dwarf, round- 

 headed tree frequently seen and so much admired. 

 It gives the best results when used to produce formal 

 effects. The globular head can be kept more com- 

 pact and symmetrical by frequent trimming.
