FLOWERING AND SHADE TREES 
Flowering and shade trees are really the backbone of a well planned garden. Trees planted in the parking strip 
cut down the glare and heat from the street and deaden traffic noises. 
Trees provide ideal background for 
shrubs and other plants; provide shade for the garden living areas. The flowering trees produce a display of 
color unequaled by any other class of plants. 
At our nursery you will find flowering and shade trees to suit 
almost any purpose. We will be happy to advise you as to the best kinds to suit your particular requirements. 
FLOWERING CRAB 
FLOWERING CRABS 
Among the finest of all ornamental trees. 
In the spring the trees become a solid 
mass of bloom ranging in color, according 
to the variety, from white or delicate pink 
to glowing carmine. Because they remain 
small they are ideal for planting on the 
terrace. 
Bechtel’s Crab. Makes a small round 
headed tree up to 15 feet high bearing 
large, fragrant, pale pink or white double 
flowers. Pleasing light green foliage. 
Carmine Crab (Malus atrosanguinea). 
Makes a breathtaking splash of color in 
the spring with its masses of brilliant 
carmine single blooms. 
~Hopa Crab. Rosy red flowers. Red fruits 
in fall. 
-Eieyii Crab. A red foliaged crab with 
deep rose flowers and dark red fruit. 
\Floribunda Crab. Small round headed 
tree. The gracefully arching branches are 
densely wreathed with masses of pink 
buds and white flowers in spring.

Florida. The famed white Dogwood of 
the eastern woodlands. Small much 
branched tree with myriads of clear white 
blooms in spring. Flowers last a long 
time. 
Florida rubra. The pink flowering form 
of the above. A really spectacular tree 
that never fails to draw admiring com- 
ments.

Northwest woodlands. Graceful tree cov- 
ered with huge creamy “blossoms” in 
spring and occasionally bearing a liberal 
sprinkling of blooms in the fall.

racemes of golden yellow pea-shaped blos- 
soms are suspended from branches cov-

ble carmine red flowers in spring. An
