How Asout AN AMERICAN NATIONAL 
FLOWER? 
England is fighting now with the 
rose as her national flower. The 
United States has no national flower, 
recognized as such, but the mountain 
laurel comes nearer to being the right 
candidate for the honor than any 
ether bloom particularly characteris- 
tic of the United States. 
The mountain laurel is not found in 
other lands. It is hardy, permanent, 
beautiful and widespread in its dis- 
tribution, The great artist Henry 
Turner Bailey finds in it all the sym- 
bolism necessary to make it Uncle 
Sam’s flower. 
About the second week in June 
will be the most notable showing any- 
where in the world of American laurel 
in captivity at the Arnold Arboretum,

These laurels grow there un- 
der ideal conditions, and more. than 
ter thousand péople go to see them on 
the one Sunday nearest their maxi- 
mum of beauty. 
This great laurel show in the Ar- 
nold Arboretum did not happen all at 
once. Jackson Dawson, the wonder- 
ful gardener who helped during all 
of his life to make the world more 
beautiful, selected many of these 
laurel plants in the mountains of Con- 
necticut, Massachusetts, and New 
York, and in some cases actually car- 
ried them to the Arboretum on his 
back. 
The laurels bloom along a hillside 
contiguous to one of the roadways in 
the Arboretum. They suggest in their 
beauty and adaptability how Ameri- 
can parks might to 1mmese advantage 
use some native American shrubs for 
decoration.
