2 to 3 ft. A low shrub the stems of which are covered 
with lavender-blue flowers. It is not entirely hardy in

nut. 20 to 25 ft. This is a small, symmetrical shade tree 
which has attractive flowers, beautiful foliage in the 
summer, and pleasing yellow coloring in the fall. Due to 
the blight, our native Chestnut is practically extinct, 
and this tree will take its place. It fruits early and 
prolifically; the nuts ripen before the worms come. 
While the nuts are a little larger than those of the native 
variety, the quality is equally good. Take our advice 
and plant some of these trees. 
C. pumila. Chinquapin. 5 to 8 ft. Everyone knows this 
nut but few realize what a beautiful ornamental shrub 
it makes. It is attractive when in flower and again in 
the fall with its abundant light green burrs among the 
dark green foliage.

forms a dense, round he ad, this tree is excellent for quick 
formal effects. It looks like a big oval ball on a straight, 
single stem.

A dwarf-growing, native shrub that thrives in shady 
situations. Its white, short-lived flowers are attractive 
while they last.

strikingly beautiful shrub has large panicles of bright 
blue flowers. Anyone who is searching for something 
new and different should have one or more of these
