"May Day " TREE 
(Prunus padus commutata) 
For sheer beauty of bloom no tree or shrub excels the 
May Day. Its long, fine white flowers early in spring 
create a massive bouguet of sheer loveliness that is al¬ 
luringly wonderful. 
First tree to show green in spring—practically in full 
leaf long before many of the common trees begin to 
leaf. The flowers are large, pure white and fragrant. 
Their mass-like clusters are a beautiful sight and are well 
adapted to cutting. Blooms early in spring in April or 
early May and always several weeks earlier than any 
other flowering trees. Picture at left. 
The fruit is small and, though edible and good for 
jelly, is soon claimed by the birds in preference to what 
we consider better fruit. Thus our good fruit is saved, 
yet the birds are fed. 
May Day may be trimmed up for street, lawn or shade 
tree or left in bush form. Coming from eastern Siberia, 
it is perfectly hardy anywhere. Will not send up suckers 
from the roots. 
Two to three feet, two year each 75c; two for $1.45; three 
for $2.00.
