OXYDENDRUM arboreum Sourwood 
MALUS - Flowering Crab 
Flowering Crab is a most unfortunate 
name, as it comprises a beautiful assortment 
of hardy, picturesque, rugged, small trees 
unsurpassed for their ornamental value. In 
addition to the flowers, which are various 
shades of pink and completely cover the 
trees in spring, many varieties produce 
bright-colored, miniature apples which last 
well into the winter and insure the birds a 
bountiful Thanksgiving dinner. They lend 
themselves readily to mass and screen plant- 
ings, groups or single specimens.

MORUS alba pendula Weeping Mulberry 
Forms a perfect, umbrella-shaped head 
with long, slender branches drooping to 
the ground. = 
The light green 3 
foliage com- 
pletely hides 
the stem. One 
of the best 
small lawn 
trees. 
MORUS alba 
tatarica 
Russian 
Mulberry 
This variety 
forms a large, 
spreading tree 
with showy 
flowers. The 
fruit is attrac- 
tive to the 
birds. 
“Sourwood” because of the acid taste of 
the foliage. Slow growing, graceful little 
tree producing spiky panicles of greenish 
white flowers late in summer. Its chief 
attraction is the brilliant orange and scar- 
let foliage in the autumn. Hardy in any 
soil or location and endures shade. 
POPULUS Eugenei Carolina Poplar 
Rapid growing tree of large proportions. 
Gives shade very quickly, and grows well 
under adverse conditions. 
P. nigra italica Lombardy Poplar 
Wherever it is planted, its familiar spire- 
like shape stands out like a sentinel. Fast 
growing and of easy culture, it is used 
mostly for screen plantings and formal 
effects. 
PRUNUS cerasifera Pissardi 
Purple-leaf Plum 
A small tree with deep purple foliage 
that will stand the hot summer weather 
without burning or fading. 
P., Newport Newport Plum 
An improved purple-leaf Plum with deep- 
er and better colored foliage. Provides a 
pleasing contrast when planted among 
other trees or shrubs. 
PRUNUS 
Japanese Flowering Cherries 
The Japanese Cherries planted around 
the Tidal Basin at Washington have added 
greatly to the popularity of this group. They 
are trees of medium height, some pyramidal 
to vase shape, and some of the weeping 
type. The different varieties cover a long 
season of bloom, with the single varieties 
flowering first. In summer their glossy green 
leaves make them attractive as lawn trees. 
In New England they should be planted in 
sheltered locations. 
Prunus, Kwanzan. Double; deep pink. 
P. subhirtella pendula flore-pleno 
Weeping Flowering Cherry 
The hardiest and most satisfactory Japa- 
nese Cherry for our section of New Eng- 
land. Its weeping habit makes it a splen- 
did specimen and it should be given 
plenty of room for development. One of 
the handsomest of early flowering trees, 
producing double pink flowers in great 
profusion.
