FLOWERING 
A S harbingers of spring in all delicate 
hues and colors of beautiful blos¬ 
soms, no group of shrubs or trees makes 
so strong an appeal as the flowering trees. 
Their blossoms bursting forth before the

tunity for effective color massing against 
backgrounds of more somber evergreens 
and are perfect foils for beds of tulips or 
other early flowering bulbs.
