Small 
Flowering Trees 
Fragrant Snowbell 
(Styrax obassia) 
This rare Japanese plant has flowers of 
purest white, arranged in racemes 4 to 6 in. long, 
and blossoming early in June; anthers are clear 
yellow. The bold foliage (leaves are 5 to 9 in. 
iong, and nearly as broad), dark green above and 
silver gray beneath, alone makes this an out¬ 
standing novelty in any garden or shrub border; 
but its fragrant, pendant-like flowers make it 
indispensable. Grows into a shapely specimen, 
as high as 18 ft. in Boston, where it is absolutely 
hardy. 
2 to 3 ft. Plants, tree-form, dug 
with ball of earth, $1.85 each. 
4 to 5 ft. Plants, $2.85 each,

GOLDENRAIN-TREE (Koelreuteria paniculata). 
No tree in this climate puts on a greater show; large panicles of rich yellow blossoms on 
the end of every branch, with a background of dark green pinnate foliage. Comes to a full 
bloom in July, when shrub or tree bloom is rare, and seldom grows over 25 ft. Thrives 
under city conditions. 
4 to 5 ft. Trees, $1.00, 5 to 6 ft. Trees, $1.45 each, F. O. B. Piqua 
A glimpse of Fragrant Snowbell, the new 
Japanese wonder plant 
YELLOW-WOOD (Cladrastis lutea). 
Huge, swinging panicles of snow-white flowers a foot long make this tree gay in June. 
The leaves resemble the Ash, measuring up to 19 in. long; altogether it is an impressive and 
shapely lawn tree with a short gray trunk like the Beech. The wood yields a yellow dye. 
4 to 5 ft. Trees, $1.65 each, F. O. B. Piqua 
A New Red-Leaved Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum Variety-Oshiu-beni). 
Deep maroon leaves more deeply cut and smaller than the well known Blood- leaf 
Japanese Maple. Oshiu- beni retains its color through the season much better than 
many other red-leaved varieties. 
A brilliant colored foliage plant 
often used in the Rock Garden or 
border to give a high color note. A 
dwarf tree seldom growing over 5 
ft. high. 
18 to 24 in. Plants, dug with 
ball of earth, $2.50 each,

The huge, swinging panicles of snow-white flowers of 
the Yellow-wood is a sight not to be forgotten 
Paul’s Double Scarlet Haw¬ 
thorn (Crataegus oxycantha 
splendens) 
A friendly little tree whose double 
scarlet flowers borne like closely nest¬ 
ed nosegays bring cheer for many 
weeks in May. The leaves are 
quaintly curved and the habit of 
the tree neat and upright. 
4 to 5 ft. Trees nicely 
branched, $1.50 each,
