Dwarf Flowering Trees 
While the varieties in this group are classified as trees, they 
serve the same purpose as many of our larger shrubs. They 
may be planted in the tall shrub border, in groups of 2 or 3, 
or as single lawn specimens. They do not, as a rule, grow 
tall enough to afford much shade, but are highly ornamental 
both in foliage and flower.
