ACCENT PLANTS 
FLOWERING TREES 
FLOWERING and OTHER SPECIAL-FEATURE 
DECIDUOUS TREES 
This is the smallest-size group that can logically be included among the Accent Plants. 
However, they are too large to be used as Filler Plants. They are used for developing the 
lower skyline, and to prevent the monotony that would result from the too-continued use 
of the largest Accents; as on “over-planting” among shrubs; also as lawn specimens. What 
they lack in size they make up in some special feature. Most of them bear a profusion of 
exceptionally beautiful flowers. Others are desirable for their particular form or leaf-color. 
FLOWERING CRABAPPLES 
Without any doubt the “First Family” of flower¬ 
ing trees. Among its members are found nearly all 
shapes in which trees grow—erect, symmetrical, 
spreading, irregular, arching to pendulous. Flowers 
white, various shades of pink, red; single and 
double, typically like apple-blossoms, but with many 
beautiful differences; in middle to late May. Orna¬ 
mental fruit small, medium, large. All of them are 
hardy almost everywhere in New England, and 
thrive in a wide range of soils and exposures. They 
flower best in at least a fair amount of sunlight. 
We dig these trees with the ball of earth in which 
they are growing and wrap them firmly in burlap— 
often expressed as “B&B.” 
NOTE.—Our Crabapples are unusually heavy 
grade, full-bodied, and have well-developed heads. 
Practically all have already blossomed heavily for 
several years.
