PLANT FLOWERING TREES FOR MASSES OF SPRING BLOOM ~ 
. Add color and charm wherever they are used. May be readily adapted to 
any landscape plan, from the smallest city lot to large suburban and coun- 
try grounds. Flowering trees grow larger than shrubs, but are smaller at 
maturity than most shade trees. Even the youngest trees produce an abun- 
dance of flowers in early spring before other deciduous plants have leafed 
out. Many of them produce brilliant berries to brighten the fall landscape.
