One of America’s Most Beautiful Native Trees—White Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida) 
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. 
1. Dig hole wide and deep enough to easily admit the earth ball. 
2. Set top of ball 2 inches below the surface of surrounding soil. Tamp in 
firmly without removing burlap. 
PLANTING BALLED AND BURLAPPED MATERIAL: 
3. Cut burlap open at top. Complete filling in soil. Water twice weekly 
very thoroughly. 
4. Use Peat Moss liberally in the hole and as a top mulch.
