(Listed in order of ultimate height) 
AMERICAN SMOKE TREE (Purple Fringe). One 
of the most beautiful and unusual plants. 
From mid-summer until autumn surmounted 
with masses of feathery panicles of flowers 
which give the effect of a dense cloud of 
smoke. Makes a unique specimen on the 
lawn. 
BECHTEL’S CRAB. A beautiful, double pink 
flowering crab with fragrant flowers in May- 
June, covering the whole tree. 
BLOOD-LEAF PLUM (Prunus cistena). A new col- 
orful shrub with deep purple leaves all sea- 
son. Even the bark itself and the wood is 
purple. Its unusual foliage makes an attrac- 
tive contrast to the green of the lawn. The 
shrub is very hardy. 
FRENCH PUSSY WILLOW. Snow may still cover 
your lawn when you cut your first spring 
bouquets from your Pussy Willow trees. Soft 
and silvery, large catkins cover the tree for 
many weeks. 
RED LILAC LUDWIG SPAETH. Beauty and fra- 
grance of this French Lilac are unexcelled. 
The large blossoms are of splendid dark 
purplish red color. 
WASHINGTON CHERRY (Prunus Kwanzan). 
These Double Flowering Cherries are like a 
symbol of spring time, charm, and beauty. 
Dark pink, very double flowers, up to 2 in- 
ches in diameter. See illustration page 23. 
CORNELIAN CHERRY (Cornus mas). Clusters of 
yellow flowers cover this shrub long before 
spring arrives. Almost overnight the shrub 
bursts into blossom, later bearing red edible 
fruit resembling small cherries. 
HOPA TREE (Red -Flowering Crab). The iree is 
literally covered by large, rose-colored, frag- 
rant flowers in the spring, and clusters of 
bright red fruits in late summer and fall. A 
very hardy tree which grows even on the 
poorest soil. 
JUNE LILAC YELLOW DREAM (Syringa japon- 
ica). This is one of the rarest kinds of lilacs 
and a tree of unusual beauty. The majestic 
clusters of yellowish-white flowers appear in 
June and last for a long time. 
MAY DAY TREE. This tree was introduced re- 
cently from Siberia, and it is fast becoming 
a favorite in this country. Very early in 
spring, earlier. than most other flowering 
trees, the May Day Tree is in bloom. Its pure 
white and very fragrant flower-clusters make 
a beautiful sight, and they are fine for cut- 
ting.
