ULMUS—Continued 
U. americana molini (Moline Elm). Smaller than Am¬ 
erican but very desirable under certain conditions 
for this reason. Unlike American it has a central 
leader and conical head.

but of very rapid growth. Does well in hot, dry 
locations. Good for street plantings. 
FLOWERING TREES 
CERCIS Canadensis (American Redbud). A shrub-like 
tree with large, irregular head and perfect heart- 
shaped leaves. Derives its name Redbud from the 
profusion of delicate reddish pink blossoms with 
which it is covered in early spring before the foliage 
appears. One of the finest ornamental trees. Extreme 
height, 1 5 feet. 
CORNUS (Dogwood). 
C. florida (Flowering Dogwood). One of the best 
flowering trees. Small (1 5 to 20 feet) but picturesque 
in its spreading, umbrel habit. Especially beautiful in 
spring when covered with mammoth white blossoms, 
yet equally so in fall when both foliage and berries 
are bright red. 
C. florida rubra (Red-flowering Dogood). This is very 
similar to Cornus florida, the only difference being 
that the flowers are bright red. 
CRATAEGUS (Flowering Thorn). 
C. oxyacantha pauli (Paul’s Double Scarlet Hawthorn). 
Pronounced the best of all. A small, spreading tree 
with flaming carmine red double flowers. Entirely 
hardy, thriving well in dry, unfavorable situations. 
Makes a very fine lawn tree or specimen planting. 
C. oxyacantha alboplena. Same as above except double 
white flowers. 
MAGNOLIA Soulangeana (Saucer Magnolia). A 
very popular, hardy Chinese variety of vigorous 
growth, forming many branches. White flowers,
