Flowering Trees 
From the cheery and attractive group of 
spring flowering trees—probably the most widely 
loved and appreciated in all horticulture—we 
have picked three which are worthy of special 
notice. 
FLOWERING CRABAPPLES—It would be difficult to 
exaggerate the beauty of the Flowering crabapples. 
About the middle of May, their white, pink and red 
flowers burst into such a glorious profusion of bloom that 
no one who has seen them could possibly forget the sight. 
They are equally successful whether planted for their 
beauty as specimen plants, or for their mass effect in the 
shrubbery garden or country place. Two other features 
which enhance their value still more are their winter 
fruits, which are much appreciated by the birds, and the 
fact that they are absolutely hardy against cold and 
drought. 
A/cfoa/iflmsns/s Floribunda Niedzwetzkyana 
Arnoldiana Halliana Parkmani Sargenti 
Coronarius Ioensis Bechteli Scheideckeri 
Eleyi Micromalus Sieboldi 
Prices on Crabapples (except as noted)— 2 / 3 ' $.60 each; 
3/4 $1.00 each; 4/5' $1.50 each. 5/6' specimens, tree 
form $2.00 each. 
Theifera—Zumi 
2/3' $1.50. 
Mountain Silverbell —(Halesia Monticola)—If anyone is 
looking for a true rarity in flowering trees, something 
which nobody else has, this is the tree to plant. And it is 
well worth planting too! Gaily hung in May, with snowy 
white bells, (like the shrub of the same name), it grows 
into a handsome symmetrical tree of first magnitude 
size. It is a native of the mountains of North Carolina 
and is entirely hardy. 
Prices: B. 85 B. 3/4' $2.50; 4/5' $4.00; 5/6' $5.00. 
Flowering Dogwood 
FLOWERING DOGWOOD— 
( Cornus florida )—This native 
Dogwood’s spring flowering is 
incomparable. In fact it is prob¬ 
ably the most beautiful of all our 
flowering trees. What other plant 
can combine the purity of its 
white flowers with the wonderful 
gestures of its branches? Their 
wide irregularity make the 
silhouette of a fine specimen 
seem as if it has been taken from 
a Japanese print. No other plant 
can boast of its clusters of red berries and a richness of 
autumn coloring second to none. In our estimation it has 
“everything” and is the plant most worthy to stretch its 
branches down over your garden pool or cast a delicate 
flicker of sun and shadow over your favorite seat on the 
terrace. 
Prices: 4/5' B. 8 s B. $1.50; 5/6' B. 8 s B. $2.00; 6 / 8 ' B. 8 & 
B. $3.50; 8/10' B. 8 5 B. $5..00. 
Note: If the soil is heavy, we recommend the addition of 
leaf mold. Don’t plan to put a Flowering Dogwood in 
any place which is windswept. 
One good plant which you can rely on to grow and 
prosper is worth any number of bargains which 
won't.
