4 RARE FRANKLINIA 
The FRANKLIN TREE makes 
a handsome, large shrub, thriv- 
ing under Azalea conditions, and 
winter-hardy at Buffalo. It 
blooms in late summer and au- 
tumn, big, wax-white blossoms, 
one petal oddly cupped, centered 
each with a golden tassel. One of 
the few autumn-blooming shrubs. 
It can be trained to a single stem 
as a small tree, but left to itself 
it will make several branching 
stems. Foliage becomes scarlet in 
late fall. Illustrated opposite. Not 
difficult from seed. 8 seeds for 
25e; 50 for $1.25; 100 seeds 
for $2.00; 500 seeds for $9.00. 
Plants, one year and over, from 
seed, 7 inches up of height, each 
$1.30; 3 for $3.60. They grow 
rather rapidly, usually doubling 
their height each year of the first 
two years; then, of course, slow- 
ing down a bit, else in such a 
geometric progress they would 
soon be piercing the clouds. Ac- Ze 
tually a 20 years old Franklinia p 
won’t be much above 15 feet. Blooming usually at about 3 
feet. Franklinia Alatamaha.
