LABURNUM 
Laburnum vulgare. Golden Chain. 30 ft. (Mm.) A small tree with 
smooth foliage, deriving its name from the long racemes of golden 
yellow blossoms, like Wisteria, produced in June. It does best in a 
cool, partially shady spot and ought to be given shelter from the 
most severe winter winds. We continually urge that this tree be 
planted more widely because few people realize how beautiful it is.

Flowering Trees from the Orient — 
The Lovely MALUS - Flowering Crab 
The Crab Apples are small, round-headed trees with irregular 
branches forming a rugged, picturesque framework. Literally cov¬ 
ered with blossoms in May, they compare favorably with the Japanese 
Cherries. In the fall they bear heavy clusters of showy, waxy fruits, 
varying from pale green to orange-red. They are fine planted either 
singly or in mixed groups of several varieties. 
We offer semi-matured specimens of these Crabs, several times 
transplanted and heavy enough to create an immediate decorative 
effect. The degree of heaviness of each sort is indicated by the letter 
X.
