PLANT FLOWERING TREES FOR MASSES OF SPRING BLOOM 
Add color and charm wherever they are used. May be readily adapted to 
any landscape plan, from the smallest city lot to large suburban and coun- 
try grounds. Grow larger than shrubs, but are smaller at maturity than most 
shade trees. Even the youngest trees produce an abundance of flowers in 
early spring before other plants have leafed out. Many produce brilliant 
berries to brighten the fall landscape. For Shipping Information see Pg. 63.
