FRANKLINIA ALTAMAHA 
(The Rare Franklinia) 
Each flower lasts two or three days and 
then drops cleanly. There is a constant 
succession of bloom till hard frost. We 
frequently get the unusual effect of a tree 
clad in crimson, autumn foliage and 
abundantly starred with white flowers. 
The Franklinia begins blooming when 
not more than 3 or 4 feet high. Young 
trees under favorable conditions increase 
in height a foot or more each season. 
Specimens 30 feet high are known. It 
develops naturally with several trunks, 
but may easily be trained to a single 
trunk by removing the sprouts which 
start from the base. 
Franklinia prefers full sun, has proved 
entirely hardy about New York and hardy 
in favorable jocations about Boston. It 
is an especially desirable tree for the 
small, intimate garden, loved and lived 
in. It is a charming lawn tree and the 
grass may be allowed to grow closely 
about the trunk. It also thrives when 
planted by pools, lakes and streams. Its 
light elegance of form and color con- 
trasts exquisitely with the dark green of 
conifers.
