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. 
long, 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,
