FLOWERING ALMONDS, PLUMS AND PEACHES 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs called vari- 
ously: Flowering Plums, Flowering Cherries, Flowering Almonds and Flowering 
Peaches. They are so well known that they do not need any introduction. 
They are very hardy. 













FLOWERING PEACHES 
The general habit of all is much the same, the main difference being in 
color of flowers and time of blooming. They should be very severely pruned 
every year as soon as they have finished blooming and before growth starts. 
Cutting them for decoration accomplishes the same purpose and is highly 
beneficial but should be completed as soon as flowers are gone. All growth 
of the previous season should be cut back to about 8 inches. Don’t touch 
them in the fall as that is simply cutting off potential flowers. 
Spring planting only is recommended except in localities where tempera- 
tures do not go below 10 degrees of frost. 
Cardinal Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00

Dwarf Mandarin Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This charming miniature Peach tree grows not over 4 feet high. It 
makes a compact small head about two feet in diameter of short, stubby 
branches which are heavily loaded with double crimson flowers, turning 
the plant at blooming time into a small ball of fire. Its foliage through- 
out the summer is lovely and dark green. As a result ‘‘Dwarf Mandarin” 
is a perfect little standard tree for use in the center of a small bed or 
garden square, as well as an extra point of interest in the flower border. 

WEEPING PEACHES

stems at about 4 or 5 feet. The branches droop sharply, giving them a 
very artistic appearance.

DOUBLE PINK PENDULANT PEACH 
Queen of Hearts Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00

creating a picture that you will long remember. This little tree even 
when not in bloom is most pleasing to look at. We are sure you will

isolated specimen on the lawn.
