PRUNUS 
There are a number of very fine ornamental dwarf trees and shrubs 
in this classification that merit your attention. 
Cistena. Height 4 to 5 feet. Prof. Hansen of South Dakota gave 
us this delightful little purple-leafed plum which is rapidly becoming so 
popular. It grows very bushy and its deep dark red foliage makes it a 
necessity in every ornamental planting. 
Newport. Height 10 to 12 feet. One of the introductions of the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. A purple leafed plum of striking ap- 
pearance. Its deep colored foliage throughout the summer makes it a 
very attractive contrast to the green. 
Triloba. Height 6 to 8 feet. Sometimes erroneously called Flower- 
ing Almond. A dwarf tree with a mass of double pinkish-red flowers, 
almost rose-like, in the early spring. The dark green, crinkled foliage is 
also very attractive. A very popular variety. 
RHUS — Sumac 
Cotinus (Purple Fringe or Smoke Tree). Height 10 to 15feet. Rapid 
grower with a mass of filmy, smoky panicles of flowers during July and 
August. 
Glabra (Smooth Sumac). Height 8 to 10 feet. The dwarf variety 
of our common Sumac. Produces bunches of crimson berries August 
and September. 
Laciniata (Shredded, Fern Leaf or Cut Leaf Sumac). Height 6 to 
8 feet. Dwarfish variety. Attractive long, feathery leaves finely cut. 
Colors up well in the fall. 
Trilobata. Height 3 to 4 feet. Dwarf, compact shrub with beautiful 
small foliage. Very hardy and very desirable. 
Typhina (Staghorn Sumac). Height 15 to 25 feet. Greenish flower 
clusters and crimson berries for almost Oriental effect. This variety is 
well worth while.
