GARDEN ARISTOCRATS—Continued 
RED LILAC LUDWIG SPAETH. 12-15 ft. Beauty and fragrance of 
this French Lilac are unexcelled. The large blossoms are of 
splendid dark purplish red color. 
WASHINGTON CHERRY (Prunus Kwanzan). 12-15 ft. These 
Double Flowering Cherries are like a symbol of spring time, 
charm, and beauty. Dark pink, very double flowers, up to 2 
inches in diameter. 
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. 
COCKSPUR THORN (Crataegus Crus Galli). 15-20 ft. White flower 
clusters in the spring are followed by red fruits which stay on 
the tree all winter. The glossy dark green leaves turn to bril- 
liant red and scarlet in the fall. Long thorns help make this 
shrub an impenetrable boundary barrier when planted closely 
like a hedge. 
WHITE FLOWERING DOGWOOD (Cornus florida). 15-20 ft. A 
native American tree with white flowers in spring before the 
leaves appear, and deep red foliage in autumn. 
RED FLOWERING DOGWOOD (Cornus florida rubra). 15-20 ft. 
Magnetic beauty in spring with its profusion of pink and light 
red flowers. 
MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA. 15-20 it. Magnolia trees are beauty 
spots for miles around wherever planted. Delightfully fragrant 
flowers, pink in bud and white when open, cover the tree in 
spring before leaves appear. Our trees have flower buds to 
bloom for you this spring. See illustration on opposite page. 
DOUBLE SCARLET HAWTHORN (Crataegus ox. splendens). 15-20 
ft. A beautiful tree, in May-June covered with double red flow- 
ers over and over, followed by red berries. 
BLOOD-LEAF DWARF MAPLE (Acer palmatum atropurpureum). 
15-20 ft. Brilliant red foliage in spring, dark red in summer, 
with its bright red color returning in autumn. Highly ornamen- 
tal when used as a lawn specimen. 
HOPA TREE (Red Flowering Crab). 20-25 ft. The tree is literally 
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. 
MAY DAY TREE (Prunus Padus). 20-25 ft. 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.
