DECORATIVE AND FLOWERING TREES 
Whether your garden be large or small there is al- 
ways a place for flowering trees. They can be grown with 
equal satisfaction either as individual specimens on the 
lawn or grouped among the shrubs. 
Since few if any of these trees tower to great heights, 
even in maturity, they are indispensable for creating inti- 
mate garden pictures. In the spring, wrapped in a haze of 
soft bloom, they serve to lift the color of perennial borders 
to eye level and above. In the fall, hawthorns, mountain 
ash, and flowering crabapples are brilliant with fruit and 
doubly effective when combined with red chokeberries, 
dogwoods and hardy asters.
