Cornus florida plena 
While everybody is familiar with the Flow- 
ering Dogwood which has single flowers, 
very few are acquainted with the double 
variety. Like its relatives, the single white 
and the single pink, this makes an excellent 
tree, being a graceful grower, not too large, 
and having branches fairly spaced so that the 
plants are attractive even in winter when 
their branches are bare. 
Double-flowering trees and shrubs rarely 
become as popular as their single ancestors, 
but in this case the plant itself is so pleasing 
that even the smallest yard should have one of 
these rare little trees. We hope you will be 
able to call and see these plants when they are 
in bloom. 
Albizzia 
Julibrissin rubra 
We are offering a really pink 
Mimosa, which is a sport from 
the common variety but very 
much superior in leaf and 
flower. It has long, dark pink 
stamens and the bloom appears 
on the upper side of the low, 
spreading branches in great 
profusion from early June until 
early August. The original 
plant is at this time about 6 
inches in diameter and 18 feet 
in height, with a limb-spread 
of 20 feet.
