CHERRY. Flore Alba Plcno (Large Double Flowering Cherry). At the period of flowering a 
remarkably beautiful and attractive tree; the flowers are so numerous as to conceal the 
branches and to present to the eye nothing but a mass of bloom, each flower resembling a 
miniature white rose; a valuable variety deserving wide dissemination. May. 
DOC WOOD. Cornus Florida. An American species of fine form, growing from 16 to 25 feet high; 
the flowers are produced in the spring before the leaves appear, are from three to three and 
a half inches in diameter, white and very showy, resembling the Clematis flower somewhat; 
the foliage in autumn is of a deep red color, rendering the tree one of the most beautiful 
objects ft that season. 
Red Flowering (C. F. Ruba). Tree in habit of growth not unlike the grand white flowering 
variety; flowers are a rich rosy red and several inches across, while the foliage assumes a 
crimson color at an earlier stage; the finest of our native flowering trees. 
ELM (Ulmas). American White [Americana). The no- 
ble drooping, spreading tree of our own woods; 
one of the grandest of park or street trees.

ance of showy flowers in early spring. As a 
single lawn tree or for street it has no superior.

leaf.”
