AMERICAN SMOKE TREE (Purple Fringe). 10-15 ft. One of the 
most beautiful and unusual plants. From mid-summer until 
autumn surmounted with masses of feathery panicles of flow- 
ers which give the effect of a cloud of smoke. Makes a unique 
specimen on the lawn. See illustration. 
BECHTEL’S CRAB (Malus ioensis plena). 12-15 ft. A beautiful 
double pink flowering crab with fragrant flowers in May-June, 
covering the whole tree. 
JAPANESE CRAB (Malus floribunda). 12-15 ft. Pink flower buds 
open into a spectacular flood of white blossoms which com- 
pletely hide the branches. Later in the season the tree is adorn- 
ed with tiny yellow apples. 
BLOOD-LEAF PLUM (Prunus cistena). 12-15 ft. A colorful shrub 
with deep purple leaves all season. Even the bark and wood 
is purple. Its foliage makes an attractive contrast to the green 
of the lawn. 
RED FLOWERING CRAB (Malus Hopa). 20-25 ft. The tree is liter- 
ally covered with large, rose-colored fragrant flowers in the 
spring, and clusters of bright red fruits in late summer and fall. 
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.
