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.
