Ornamental Fruits 
Dual purpose trees and shrubs with their many colored edible or 
ornamental fruits—attractive flowers and foliage, adding 
striking contrast in landscape planting. 
Apple Shadblow A natural hybrid and because of its profuse- 
ness of bloom and fruits it may well be classed 
as the finest type of the so-called Service Berries or Shad Bush. This 
rather stout erect: shrub, with a flurry of Pink tinted blossoms is truly a 
Herald of Springtime. In July the clusters of purplish red berries cause it 
to resemble a Cherry tree laden with fruits. The mild fruits are for all 
around use either used alone or mixed with the more tart fruits such as 
Currants, Gooseberries, etc. ; 

We regret that Apple Shadblow plants are not available 
this year.

Success in starting Paw Paws, 
Persimmons and most other Or- 
namental trees if you will wrap 
the trunks quite snugly with 
heavy paper or burlap and tops 
loosely with the same material. 
Remove the top protection on a 
cleudy day just as soon as buds 
show green in the spring. The 
trunks may be left wrapped for 
the first year. —
