Prof. N. E. Hansen and a May Day Tree. 
May Day may be trimmed up for a 
street or lawn shade tree, or left in 
bush form as shown. It grows rapidly, 
reaching a height of fifteen to twenty 
feet at maturity. When used as a speci- 
men plant on the open lawn it reaches 
its full majesty, but it may be used in 
the background of shrub groups as well. 
EXTREMELY HARDY 
Having come from Siberia and Man- 
churia, there is no doubt as to its hard- 
iness. The scientific name of this re- 
markable tree is Prunus Padus Com- 
mutata, but better call it May Day Tree 
for everyday.

THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING LAWN TREE 
LOVELY .. FRAGRANT . . HARDY 
VIGOROUS 
For superb flowering beauty on the lawn or 
boulevard, none excels May Day Tree. Its fra- 
grant, fine white flowers early in spring create 
a massive bouquet of loveliness. The individual 
flowers are fully a half inch across. A few days 
later the leaves unfold in all their glossy beauty, 
far ahead of all the other trees. 
FIRST TO BLOOM 
Always in bloom by the first of May here it 
was well named the May Day Tree, and the long 
racemes of fragrant white flowers, so thickly set 
on fine branches, may well be used for garlands 
and to crown the Queen of May. 
BIRDS ENJOY FRUIT 
The shiny black cherry fruit, though edible and 
good for jelly, is soon claimed by the birds in 
preference to what we consider better fruit. Thus 
our good fruit is spared, yet the birds are fed.
