Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This attractive spreading 50-70' tree was bred in France in the 1890's for its showy 8-12" sterile flower candles which are a soft pink with pale-yellow throats and its handsome foliage, (taking the best from its parent's A. carnea and A. hippocastanum); a fine flowering shade tree especially wonderful for parks or large gardens.
