SMALL ORNAMENTAL TREES 
HAMPTON, LOWA 
For Lawn Specimens, Clumps, Backgrounds 
T56—AZALEA MOLLIS. Gorgeously Colored Aristocrat! Clusters 
of large, waxen blooms completely cover the 3 to 4 ft. grace- 
ful shrub in May and June—in rich shades of salmon, yellow, 
orange and flame pink. Plant in full sun (in light shade in 
the South), in soil generously mixed with leaf mold and acid 
peat in about equal proportions. Each fall a top dressing of 
well rotted stable manure will induce firmer blooms. As flow- 
ers fade remove at once so they will not go to seed, and 
water freely in dry weather. Do not cultivate. In Northern 
sections, cover through the winter the same as roses (see 
e 17). Mixed only. =

NEW — BEAUTIFUL! 
T57—SEMI-DOUBLE HYDRANGEA (Domotoi). Enormous heads 
of semi-double flowers crown a 3 to 4 ft. bush, and last for 
weeks. In ordinary soil the color is a rich pink, but in soil 
mixed half and half with acid peat, blooms are a lovely light 
blue. The hardiest Hydrangea of this kind, but in northern 
sections should be well covered through the winter the same 
as roses. Likes sun or light shade, and must have plenty of 
moisture. A showy ‘‘queen”’ whether you develop the pink or 
blue flowers.

even after blooms are gone. Grows about 8 to 10 ft. tall. 
Hardiest and most popular of the Magnolias.

T46—WEEPING BIRCH Cut-Leaf 
Graceful charm and beauty are personified in this very pop- 
ular tree. Develops artistic white bark, drooping limbs, and

two or three, or to set off the more compact lines of evergreens. 
Set deeply and firmly in good soil as soon as received, with- 
out exposing the roots to the air. This is one tree that should 
not be top pruned except to nip back any dried twigs or branch- 
es. 35 to 50 feet at maturity.

T47—WASHINGTON HAWTHORN 
Finest of the Red Haw family, developing a charming small 
tree seldom over 18 ft. tall. White flowers in the spring are fol- 
lowed by scarlet berries in clusters that persist far into the win- 
ter. In the fall, the handsome foliage takes on brilliant red and 
orange hues. The wild, twiggy outline of the tree in wintertime 
is particularly attractive. Splendid for lawn specimens, clumps, 
or for background screen. (See special screening grade on 
page 57).
