Siberia. Prof. Hansen, father of the Bush Cherry (see page 
47), has greatly improved and developed the May Day Tree 
for the Dakotas and colder regions of this country. Thus it 
is so hardy that it thrives immediately in any section of the 
country. Nice 2 to 3 ft. plants, only 65c each; 3 for $1.60,

Redbud or Cercis 
One of the handsomest of the low- 
growing, flat-topped trees. Attains 
a height of about 15 feet at maturity. 
Along the numerous wide-spreading 
branches, rosy lavender blooms appear 
before the tree leafs out in spring. 
Flowers are so thick the tree appears 
as a small pink cloud. Due to the ex- 
treme hardiness of the wood, the tree 
is unusually late in leafing out. Nice, 
3 to 4 ft. plants, only 60c each; 3 for 
$1.50, by Express. 

Redbud 
Everblooming Tamarix 
One of ‘the_finest ever grown. Beautiful 
shrub with soft fernlike foliage of a rich 
powder-blue color. Shell-pink blooms ap- 
pear early in the season and continue un- 
til frost. Adda few of these and notice 
how they fight up your whole planting. 
(Note: The wood of this shrub is extremely 
hard, therefore they are among the last 
shrubs to start leafing out in the spring. 
Many do not get out in leaf until the mid- 
dle of June here in the nursery.) 50c¢ each; 
3 for $1.25, postpaid.
