ITH many advantages of variety of form and foliage, some of these 
species are adaptable to every sort of situation, whether for 
screen, border, specimen, or avenue planting. This group of 
trees possesses the added charm of producing in spring and early summer 
a wealth of showy blossoms which in many cases are followed by equally 
attractive bright fruits; especially on this last score are many of them 
desirable for attracting the song-birds. As this is of interest to so 
many, we have endeavored to make note of the edible fruits oi trees and 
shrubs throughout this booklet and have arranged a special list of “Trees 
and Shrubs which attract Song-birds,” which we 
believe will be of interest to our patrons.

sweeping habit.
