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,

A glimpse of Fragrant Snowbell, the new 
Japanese wonder plant 
Doubleflowering White Dogwood (Cornus florida plena). 
More beautiful than the common single flowering, both in flower and foliage: flowers are 
larger and semi-double, closely resem¬ 
bling the Camellia; foliage is heavier 
and of a lighter shade of green. Be the 
first to plant this in your vicinity. 
2 to 3 ft. Plants, with ball of earth, 
$2.85 each 
3 to 4 ft. Plants, $3.85 each,

Contrasting Dogwoods 
Let the brilliant colored bark of 
these two shrubs enliven your shrub 
planting during the dull winter months. 
For the best effect set out at least three 
of each, in a sunny place if possible, 
and not too dry. The other good at¬ 
tributes are foamy flowers in Spring, 
followed by porcelain-like berries, 
Coral Dogwood (Cornus alba 
sibirica). Vivid coral-red bark. 
Golden-twig Dogwood (C. 
stolonifera lutea). Bright yellow bark. 
3 to 4 ft. Plants; $0.60 each; 
or 3 of each (6 plants) for $3.00

The Goldenrain-tree in full dress parade 
Goldenrain'tree 
(Koelreuteria paniculata) 
No tree in this climate puts on a 
greater show; large panicles of rich 
yellow blossoms on the end of every 
branch, with a background of dark 
green pinnate foliage. Comes to a full 
bloom in July, when shrub or tree 
bloom is rare, and seldom grows over 
25 ft. Thrives under city conditions. 
4 to 5 ft. Trees, $1.00, 
5 to 6 ft. Trees, $1.45 each,
