MAY DAY 
THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING LAWN TREE 
For superb flowering beauty on the lawn or boulevard, 
none excels May Day. Its long, fine white flowers early 
in spring create a massive bouquet of loveliness that is 
alluringly wonderful and altogether lovely. 
It is the first tree to show green in spring and is prac¬ 
tically in full leaf long before many of the common trees 
begin to leaf. 
The flowers are a wonderment in themselves, blooming 
early in spring, in April or early May, and always several 
weeks earlier than any of the other flowering trees. The 
flowers are large, pure white and very fragrant. Their 
mass-like clusters are a beautiful sight and are well 
adapted to cutting for the house or early spring lawn 
festivals. 
The fruit of the trees are small and though edible and 
make good jelly, are soon claimed by the birds in prefer¬ 
ence to what we consider better fruit. Thus, our good 
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 as shown. It grows rapidly. It is 
perfectly hardy far north into Canada as it came from 
the colder parts of Siberia.
