ROSE TREE OF CHINA (Prunus triloba). 8-10 ft. This beautiful 
shrub is completely covered with double, pink flowers resemb- 
ling small roses in early spring. 
DOWNY SHADBLOW (Amelanchier canadensis). 10-15 ft. Early 
in the spring, before most other shrubs bloom and before its 
own leaves appear, this shrub has a wonderful display of 
beautiful white flowers. Bright red berries follow in profusion 
during June. The shrub does well in shady places. 
AMERICAN SMOKE TREE (Rhus cotinus). 10-15 ft. One of the 
most beautiful and unusual plants. From mid-summer until 
autumn surmounted with masses of feathery panicles of flow- 
ers which give the effect of a cloud of smoke. Makes a unique 
specimen on the lawn. 
BECHTEL’S CRAB (Malus ioensis plena). 12-15 ft. A beautiful, 
double pink flowering crab with fragrant flowers in May-June, 
covering the whole tree. 
BLOOD-LEAF PLUM (Prunus cistena). 12-15 ft. A new colorful 
shrub with deep purple leaves all season. 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. 
RED LILAC (Syringa Ludwig Spaeth). 12-15 ft. Beauty and frag- 
rance of this French Lilac are unexcelled. The large blossoms 
are of splendid dark purplish red color. 
WITCH HAZEL (Hamamelis virginiana). 12-15 ft. The Witch Hazel 
produces curious bright yellow flowers late in the fall or even 
during the winter. The large leaves turn yellow, orange, or 
purple in the fall. 
CORNELIAN CHERRY (Cornus Mas). 15-20 ft. 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. 
RED FLOWERING CRAB (Malus Hopa). 20-25 ft. The tree is liter- 
ally covered by large, rose-colored fragrant 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). 20-25 ft. This is one of the rarest 
kinds of lilacs and a tree of unusual beauty. The majestic clus- 
ters of yellowish-white flowers in June last for a long time.
