Flowering Trees Used For Continuous Color Novel as the idea may seem at first, a garden of flower ing trees is not mere fantasy, but rather a practical solu tion to the landscape prob lem of providing a continuous succession of bloom over an extended period of time with a minimum of Initial effort and after-care. This sound advice from E. L. Kammerer of the Morton Arboretum, Lisle, 111., is the keynote of the contents of the latest handbook publish ed by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden,, titled "Flowering Trees." In this handbook, selecting suitable trees for home land scape planting is approached in several different ways. First, there are separate arti cles on the major classes of flowering trees, including crab apples, flowering cher ries, magnolias and flower ing dogwoods. In every case, the best species and varieties are thoroughly covered, giv. ing all essential information such as flowering, fruit and foliage characteristics, height and shape,, care, pruning. hardiness, and special quali ties. Fitness of Tree Next to consider is the fit ness of the tree to the home site. Flowering trees, as a group, have unique landscape value because so . many of them are relatively small in size. A number, such as the upright columnar forms, are Ideally shaped to fit the small plot. For contrast, there are small weeping trees having unusual shapes. Additional kinds, either naturally ' small - headed or trained that way by pruning, meet the present day phil osophy that only small or medium - size trees are suit able for street - side plant ing. Trees in this class are equally good for home land scapes. The selection of such trees is impressively large, as evidenced In the article on "Flowering Trees for City Streets" by Edward H. Scan Ion, noted collector of rare tree forms both here and abroad. From Spring to Fall The majority of trees bloom In spring, but in fact, by judicious selection, one may enjoy continuous color from trees fro msprlng to fall. Few gardeners will recognize most of the fine, valuable species that Dr. John M. Fogg Jr., has chosen as candidates to color the landscape in sum mer, even though better nur series do carry them. Nor should the autumn display known contralto who has sung loured the United States pre of bright foliage and ' fruit, which handbook editor Har old O. ' Perkins' stresses, be overlooked. . Charts and tables vividly point out how floower color from March to November is obtainable from flowering trees. Over 100 species are tabulated, giving the time and duration of their bloom. Typical species that bloom in summer are golden - rain tree, hardy silk tree, sour- wood, Chinese scholar tree and Aralia. Cultural require ments of many are given too, with reference to their toler ance of shade, wet or dry soil, and hardiness. Grouped by Sequence For those who will travel to, or who live there, the arti cles on flowering trees of Florida, California and Ha waii will be required read ing. In the extensive Florida article, the trees are group ed according to their, se quence of bloom, from Janu ary to December. This new 86 - page hand- book is the latest in a series of over 30 similar editions which the garden has publish ed. Each is devoted to one subject. The present hand book Contains 14 authentic articles, prepared by leading authorities, all lavishly il lustrated with a total of 89 halftones. There are 11 color plates. Printed on quality book paper, copies of t h e Flowering Trees Handbook may be obtained for one dol lar by writing the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn 29, New York.
