APPLE, Flowering. Pyrus. Malus. 



You can have all the pleasures of the Apple and Cherry blossoms intensified 

 by collections of dwarf flowering fruits. To this is added some of the pleasures of the 

 Rose garden for the double varieties of Peach, Cherry and Plum have taken on some 

 of the charm and fragrance of the Roses. They all belong to the Rose family. You 

 can make up a collection from this list, or come when the plants are in bloom in 

 early May, or select them in bud and take them home with you. Better try the three 

 ways and then come next year and see what new varieties are available.

BEECH, American. Fagus ferruginea. 



One landscape architect said, "I did not know that such fine beeches were 

 available.'-' Another said when he saw them "Some day I am going to make a 

 Beech grove." 



These are grown and handled in a new way for Beeches, the same as we handle 

 big Pines and Firs. They are transplanted when 6 or 8 ft. high with a large ball of 

 earth and put 10 ft. apart. When you buy them 10 or 16 ft. high they are dug with 

 big balls of earth held with canvas and platform. This ball of earth contains numer- 

 ous small, feeding roots as a result of previous transplanting. 



Low-branched specimens are particularly valuable for lawn boundaries, for they 

 are branched to the ground, and holding their russet brown leaves all Winter make 

 a screen nearly equal to the evergreens. Some have been trained up with straight 

 trunks and may be planted for the beauty of their silvery gray bark.
