FLOWERING TREES 
Can you imagine a more inspiring sight than a garden or lawn 
attractively planted with various Flowering Trees in bloom ? When 
you consider the Dogwoods, Flowering Cherries and Crabapples, 
Hawthorns and Magnolias, it is hard to conceive of a more

and to make the sky line more interesting. Flowering Trees over¬ 
hanging seats and pools or grouped at the terminus of a vista, 
add immeasurably to the beauty and charm of the garden. 
BIRCH, GRAY—Betula populifolia. The native white-barked Birch usually growing 
with two or more stems is nice to plant in groups with masses of Narcissus and Sci I las 
beneath. A background of evergreens will set off such a planting to best advantage.

Dogwoods. Not only are the flowers and berries very showy, but the
