A Bouquet of Loveliness 
MAY DAY TREE (Prunus padus commutata). For 
superb flowering beauty no shrub, or tree excels May 
Day. Its long fine white flowers early in spring create 
a massive bouquet of loveliness that is alluringly won¬ 
derful. 
First tree to show green in the 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. They bloom early in spring in 
April or early May, and always several weeks earlier 
than any of the other flowering trees. 
The fruit of the trees is small and though edible and Chinese Elm 
makes good jelly, is soon claimed by the birds in prefer- Christmas 
ence to what we consider better fruit. Thus, our good Berry (Right) 
fruit is saved, yet the birds are fed. 
May Day may be trimmed up for a street or lawn shade tree or left in 
bush form. Grows rapidly. Perfectly hardy, as it came from the colder 
parts of Siberia. 
PRICES: 2-year stock, 1 for 85c; 2 for $1.59; 4 for $3.07.

^ Elm ^ 
The fastest growing desirable shade 
and ornamental trees ever introduced to 
America. 
Born of the bleak countries of North China and 
Siberia. Nothing more need be said of their ex¬ 
treme hardiness. Their beauty must be 
seen to be appreciated. Their leaves are 
dark green borne on pendulous 
branches, producing a dense shade 
even when very young. If desired 
they may be sheared in formal design. 
However, if a fast growing, 
graceful, shade or ornamental 
is desired, just plant 
Kellogg’s Chinese Elms. 
Then watch them 
grow. PRICES: Size

2 for $1.00;
