Eley’s Purple Crab 
Malus eleyi 
A new, light, bright, rich reddish purple Crab 
that has none of the undesirable rustiness or 
sluggishness of some purple-leaved plants. In 
spring, the tree is a mass of light red bloom 
against purple branches. The bloom precedes 
the foliage, and late in the summer the handsome 
dark red fruit puts in its appearance to provide 
further color and enjoyment. 15 ft. Each Two

Cornelian Cherry 
Cornus mascula 
A large, sturdy-growing shrub or small tree, 
extremely hardy and thriving, gifted with beau¬ 
tiful deep green foliage, the mission of which 
seems to be, besides being beautiful in itself, the 
furnishing of a background for the rich, dark red 
of the very large cherries which hang singly 
amongst the dark green leaves to form a most 
pleasing color combination. Each Two

the most handsome and best of the ornamental

Bechtel’s Double-flowering Crab 
Malus ioensis plena 
This ornamental tree might aptly be called a 
“Rose Tree” as the large, double pink flowers do 
give the appearance of a tree full of fragrant pink 
rose blossoms. This feature, along with the 
sturdy appearance, the stiff, erect branching 
habit and ability to grow and thrive in almost 
any location, recommends Bechtel’s Double¬ 
flowering Crab as one of the finest flowering 
trees. Each Two

Sweetbay Tree 
Magnolia glauca 
The Sweetbay Tree is so named because of the 
very rich, sweet fragrance of the cream and yel¬ 
low flowers and the long, leathery, shining green 
bay leaves. Its foliage presents an attractive 
background for the large flowers and the bright 
red clusters of seed which follow. For beauty of 
foliage and fragrance of flowers, the Sweetbay is 
one of the most desirable and out-of-the- 
ordinary trees that can be planted. 15 ft.

Saucer Magnolia 
Magnolia soulangeana 
Lovers of the unusual will be delighted with 
the exotic beauty of the huge, purple and white, 
waterlily-like flowers that adorn the Saucer 
Magnolia. Often 6 inches across, the saucer¬ 
shaped flowers are more prominent because they 
appear before the leaves. Later these long, green 
leathery leaves provide a restful mass of cool 
green for the summer. 15 ft. Each Two

Oxydendrum arboreum 
For all-season beauty there is no finer orna¬ 
mental than the Sorrel Tree. The long racemes 
of creamy white flowers provide spring beauty; 
the bright, shining green leaves furnish summer 
enjoyment, then turn a rich red in the fall to 
add a brilliant mass of fall coloring to the autumn 
landscape. Each Two
