Flowering Dogwood 
SOURWOOD, or SORREL TREE 
(Oxydendron arboreum) 
Ornamental tree 20-25 feet tall blooming 
handsomely in August and September 
with long clusters of creamy white 
flowers. Bright shiny green leaves, 
smooth and lance shaped, turn lovely 
rich red in fall. Prefers acid, well- 
drained soil. A good small tree for any 
location, but it is in a superb setting 
when used on the sunny side of a group 
of taller evergreen trees. 
2 yr. T 10-15” 65c each, 3 for $1.75, 
10 for $5.00 
SWEETBAY MAGNOLIA 
(Magnolia virginiana, also M. glauca) 
Fragrant waxy white flowers 2-3” in 
diameter, May or June. Long leathery 
leaves are glossy green atop and white 
beneath, bark is an attractive gray. In 
the south this plant is nearly evergreen 
and becomes a full sized tree. In the 
northernmost sections it becomes 
shrubby and loses its leaves in fall. Here 
it reaches 15-20 feet and holds its leaves 
part way into winter. 
2 yr. T 4-6” 50c each, 5 for $2.15, 
10 for $3.75 
THORNLESS HONEY LOCUST 
(Gleditsia triacanthos inermis) 
A fast growing tree with foliage of fine 
texture. The shade beneath is cool, but 
sun filters through enough that grass 
will grow well. Widely recommended 
as a substitute for the disappearing Elm. 
2 yr. T 18-24” 40c each, 3 for $1.00, 
10 for $3.00 
NORWAY MAPLE (Acer platanoides) 
A dense, rounded shade tree 40-50 feet 
tall. Large deep green leaves cast full 
shade. Difficult to grow a lawn under 
a Norway Maple, usually a ground is 
used (pachysandra, English Ivy, Euony- 
mus coloratus, vinca minor, native vio- 
lets, etc.). A good city tree, withstands 
smoke, crowded conditions. 
2 yr. T 12-15” 40c each, 3 for $1.00,
