Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
Beautify Your City With 
FLOWERING TREES 
' I 'HE parks, boulevards and public grounds of your city can be trans- 
formed into places of lasting beauty by planting graceful Flowering 
Trees of the Orient. Everyone knows of Potomac Park in Washington 
where the Cherry Blossom Season attracts thousands of visitors. In Fair- 
mount Park, Philadelphia; Druid Hill Park, Baltimore; Oakman Boulevard 
in Detroit, and in St. Louis, Cherry plantings draw similar throngs to 
enjoy the acres of lovely bloom each spring. 
The Philadelphia Zoological Garden is planting over one thousand 
of our Flowering Trees, which will add very materially to the attractive¬ 
ness of the Garden and will draw many visitors each spring. 
Flowering Trees are effective either in small groups or in large plant¬ 
ings. They require very little care and may be grown successfully without 
special preparation in almost any section of the country. 
To public-spirited men, who wish to make an unusual, lasting and 
effective contribution to the beautifying of tbeir home city, Flowering 
Trees are the ideal medium. 
It has always been our custom to make very substantial inducements 
to quantity buyers, more particularly when the planting is intended for the 
benefit of the public at large, such as boulevard and street planting, hos¬ 
pital, college, school and park plantings. Therefore, the total cost will 
not be very great. 
For your convenience we are listing in this booklet a fairly inclusive 
list of parks and other public and semi-public grounds for which we have 
supplied Flowering Trees. 
Our book, "Flowering Trees of the Orient,” supplies valuable infor¬ 
mation about Flowering Cherries, Crabs, Peaches, Plums, Magnolias and 
Dogwood, as well as other specialties.
