May Day Tree 
(The Beautiful Flowering Lawn Tree) 
For superb flowering beauty on the lawn or boulevard, 
none excels May Day Tree. Its fragrant, fine white flowers 
early in spring create a massive bouquet of loveliness. 
The individual tlowers are fully a half inch across. A few 
days later the leaves unfold in all their glossy beauty, 
far ahead of all the- other trees. As this tree is always in 
bloom by the first of May here it was well named the May 
Day Tree, and the long racemes of fragrant white flowers, 
so thickly set on fine branches, may well be used for gar- 
lands and to crown the Queen of May. The massive clus- 
ters are a beautiful sight and are well adapted to cutting 
for the house or for early spring lawn festivals. The shiny 
black cherry fruits which follow the lovely blossoms are 
small and, though edible and good for jelly, are soon 
claimed by the birds in preference to what we consider 
better fruit. Thus our good fruit is spared, yet the birds 
are fed. 
May Day may be trimmed up for a street or lawn shade 
tree, or left in bush form as shown. It grows rapidly, 
reaching a height of 15 to 20 feet at maturity. When used 
as a specimen plant on the open lawn it reaches its full 
majesty, but it may be used in the background of shrub 
groups as well. Having come from eastern Siberia and 
Manchuria, there is no doubt as to its hardiness. The scien- 
tific name of this remarkable tree is Prunus Padus Com- 
mutata, but better call it May Day Tree for everyday. It is 
highly recommended by the Arnold Arboretum of Boston 
where records show that it is in bloom about 3 weeks in 
advance of any other bird cherry. For the lawn the superb 
beauty of the May Day Tree will please and impress 
everyone. 
We are offering these new beautiful flowering May Day 
Trees, 3 to 4 ft. in height, at $3.00 each; 3 for $8.50.
