Spring Debutante 
(Prunus cerasifera blieriana) 
A dw'arf tree (10 to 15 ft.) of symmetrical 
shape whose straight slender branches are laden 
with salmon-pink rosettes, making its blooming 
period of 3 to 4 weeks in April an unforgetable 
event. After the flowers have been out for a 
while the young coppery foliage makes its 
appearance. 
Plant one or more of these trees, either in a 
prominent place on the lawn or as an accent in 
the garden. The flowers are excellent for cutting, 
and the purple foliage persists all summer.
