FRINGE, PURPLE (Smoke Tree) 
Color: foamy sprays of purplish flowers. Blooms: mid-July to October. 
Foliage: thick and dark green like the Magnolia. Height: 8 to 10 feet. 
It is the most elegant of lawn trees during mid-summer when the veil 
of bloom resembles dense clouds of richly colored smoke. 
GOLDEN CHAIN TREE (Leburnum Vossi) 
PRUNUS 
TRILOBA 
(Double 
Flowering 
Plum) 
Color: fully double 
quilled bright pink. 
Blooms: early spring 
before leaves appear. 
Foliage: light green 
changing to deep 
green. Holds its rich, 
deep color later than 
average tree. Height: 
5 to 6 feet. 
During blossom-time 
every twig and branch 
are completely hidden 
by the delightful flow- 
ers. It’s one of those 
real small trees that 
fits in most anywhere. 
Color: Jong, pendulous, 18 to 24-inch clusters of bright yellow, Sweet-Pea-like blos- 
soms. Silky seed pods follow. Blooms: May-June. Foliage: clover-like, silky, resem- 
bling a hand with fingers outstretched. Height: 20 to 25 feet. 
A gem of rare surprises. Even the bark is very ornamental and interesting, a 
bright green in early spring, almost bluish in mid-summer and a handsome, rich 
deep green in autumn. Because it is an erect grower, it is adapted to planting in a 
small lawn space.

DOGWOOD, RED FLOWERING 
(Cornus Florida Rubra) 
Color: dainty rose-pink, suffused with bright red. Blooms: early 
spring. Foliage: glossy-green changing to crimson and scarlet in the 
fall. Height: up to 20 feet. 
A deservedly popular lawn tree for year round beauty. In the 
winter the twigs hold a multitude of buds enclosed in four scales 
like the husk of a hickory nut. All the delicate tints the artist 
delights in painting are found in these buds and twigs that bear 
them. Come spring it is clothed in colorful bloom; followed in mid- 
summer by scarlet berries. The ever-changing foliage, always bright 
and colorful, is accented by the bark, checkered like alligator skin.
