Flowering Trees are an investment in ever increasing 
beauty and utility. They are effective as specimens, in 
the border, for background use and against walls. They 
blend well with Evergreens and add color to such plant- 
ings. Most Flowering Trees bear attractive fruits in the 
Fall, thus giving a long season of colorful beauty. 
Consider, too, the use of Fruit Trees for ornamental 
purposes. The blossoms of the Apple, Pear, Peach, 
Cherry and Plum are most attractive, beside providing 
delicious fruit.
