FLOWERING TREES 
The loveliness of a Flowering Tree is a constant delight to the beholder. At the height of the blooming period; 
when in full leaf; when fruiting, as so many Flowering Trees do; and during the brilliance of Autumnal coloring, they 
are always an exceptionally fine addition to the landscape. A solid investment on the part of the homeowner, for 
they increase in beauty as the years pass. 
All the varieties listed below are hardy and carefully chosen to give complete satisfaction, no matter whether 
planted as lawn specimens, or in the border, planted among evergreens or espaliered on bare wall surfaces. Although 
complete individual descriptions are given, we group some of these Flowering Trees in order to aid you in your 
planning and selection.

GORDONIA 
Franklin Tree 
Alatamaha. A small tree of extraordinary 
beauty in the Fall. Attaining 20 ft. in height, 
the graceful branches sweep the ground if al- 
lowed natural growth. If the lower branches 
are removed, the trunk appears smooth, silky 
and grey. The marble-like buds open about 
September 1 to large, creamy white flowers 
with deep orange-yellow centers. While still 
flowering, the shiny green leaves take on the 
brilliant crimson and scarlet Fall coloring, a 
strikingly beautiful sight. The Franklin Tree 
prefers full sun and a somewhat moist but well- 
drained acid soil near lake, pool or stream. M
