symmetrically formed graceful little tree grows usually to a height of 
but 6 feet and is attractive as a specimen or when planted in groups or

and a magnificent bronze in Autumn. Its branches are literally covered 
with double rose pink blooms in the early Spring before the leaves 
appear. The beautiful flowers are followed by clusters of scarlet fruit 
which is very delicious when eaten fresh and makes the prettiest and 
finest flavored jelly and marmalade we have eaten. The deep scarlet 
fruit is also very delicious and attractive when canned. This beautiful 
and useful shrub will thrive in your lawn. Its scarlet leaves are glorious, 
especially against the rising or setting sun. Price, select, extra heavy,
