AND BLOOM (Continued) 
HALESIA 
H. TETRAPTERA. (Silver-bell Tree). Blooms with 
the Dogwood. Great mass of snow white bell 
shaped flowers are most attractive. 
LIOUIDAMBAR — SWEET GUM 
L. STYRACIFLUA. (Sweet Gum). Another native 
tree not appreciated. It is not of rapid growth 
nor especially easy to transplant, but the glossy 
star-shaped foliage in summer, the brillian 
color in the fall and the unusual appearance 
of the young branches with corky bark in the 
winter are qualities which make it exceptionaily 
valuable.

bark, you should not overlook this grand old 
tree. Tolerant of soot and smoke, used as a 
street tree in cities.

POPULUS — POPLAR 
P. NIGRA ITALICA. (Lombardy Poplar). A tall, 
slender tree of rapid growth, reaching great 
hoight and not to be construed with the Caro- 
lina Poplar. Specimen often reach 50 feet, with 
spread of less than 10 feet, and for this reason 
when trees are needed for narrow places, 
between buildings, congested lawns, narrow 
avenues, Lombardy Poplar may be used to 
advantage, and for quick effect we recommend 
it.

o*her flower'ng tree has the beauty of these
