its all-over red color.

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 practically 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 cut-

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.
