Small Flowering 
Trees 
Yellow-wood 
(Cladrastis lutea). 
Huge, swinging panicles of snow- 
white flowers a foot long make this 
tree gay in June. The leaves re¬ 
semble the Ash, measuring up to 
19 in. long; altogether it is an im¬ 
pressive and shapely lawn tree with 
a short gray trunk like the Beech. 
The wood yields a yellow dye.

Paul Double Scarlet Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha splendens)

cheer for many weeks in May. The leaves are quaintly curved and the habit of the tree 
neat and upright.

Japanese Rose-flowering 
Cherry (Kofugen) 
The crimson buds open into double, 
deep pink flowers that blend into old 
rose. Just enough of the purplish or red 
foliage is visible at the time of bloom to 
heighten the effect. An outstanding 
variety that can be used in even the 
smallest garden.

American Redbud 
(Cercis canadensis). 
We are listing this because it is our most 
beautiful native tree, and because 
nursery grown plants have the proper 
kind of roots for transplanting. A cloud 
of rosy-pink pea-shaped flowers at the 
time the Dogwoods are blooming.
