Spring Blowering Trees 
At no other time of year are we so thrilled with the joy of living as in spring when new 
grass again carpets the fields and the Spring Flowering Trees burst their swollen buds to cover 
themselves with soul satisfying color. 
By summer, flowers haye disappeared and clean fresh 
growth covers the nakedness of the trees and protects them from the prying eyes of the sun. 
For information about planting and care after planting read our booklet “When, Where 
and How to Plant’’. It’s yours for the asking. 
Please note: Ultimate height of trees usually follows descriptions. 
Varieties listed as bare-root are available during January, February and March. Also ayail- 
able in containers through the year.

FLOWERING PEACHES

will all bloom heavily. The following are dependable and outstanding varieties.
