This is a collection of lovely ornamentals, shrubs and trees of outstanding beauty,

(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 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 
colorful shrub with deep purple leaves all 
season. Even the bark itself and the wood 
is purple. Its unusual foliage makes an 
attractive contrast to the green of the lawn. 
The shrub is very hardy. 
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. 
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. 
BLOOD-LEAF DWARF MAPLE (Acer palmatum 
atropurpureum). Brilliant red foliage in 
spring, dark red in summer, with its bright 
red color returning in aqutumn. Highly orna- 
mental when used as a lawn specimen. 
HOPA TREE (Red Flowering Crab). The tree 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 
hardy tree which grows on the poorest soil 
JUNE LILAC (Syringa japonica). This is one of 
the rarest kinds of lilacs and a tree of unu- 
sual beauty. The majestic clusters of yellow- 
ish-white flowers in June last for a long time. 
MAY DAY TREE. 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 cutting.
