FLOWERING AND ORNAMENTAL TREES 
This group comprises the best of our small trees, beautiful for their flowers, 
fruit and foliage. Many of them will also furnish light shade in small areas where 
a standard shade tree would be too large or out of scale with the surroundings. 
American Hornbeam (carpinus betu-

considered, at maturity, larger than 
this group range, it is, nevertheless, 
slow growing and with an annual 
pruneing is kept low. It grows com- 
pact without trimming, forming a 
broad rounded mass and makes a 
fine specimen.
