MAGNOLIA 
Magnolia soulangeana. Masses of big lily- 
like blooms before the leaves appear in 
spring. Purplish outside, pale lavender

white fragrant water - lily - like flowers,

out the summer.

BIRCH 
A group or row or even a single speci- 
men of Birch adds a graceful and pleas- 
ing note to any landscape. The foliage is 
a pleasing green in summer, golden in 
the fall. In the winter the tracery of the 
graceful branches and the black-etched 
white bark form a very pleasing picture. 
European White Birch. Most everyone 
knows the White Birch with its beautiful 
white bark and black markings. Makes 
rapid growth; light green foliage. Very 
attractive. 
Cutleaf Weeping Birch. Branches weep- 
ing and leaves deeply cut. Otherwise like 
the European White Birch. Makes a lovely 
lawn specimen, especially when planted 
in groups.

headed tree with pale yellow foliage 
splashed with green. A striking tree well

shade tree. The under side of the leaves

Maple. Turns golden yellow in the fall. 
Norway Maple, Crimson King (Plant Pat.
