Arbor Day Foundation offers crapemyrtles

The Arbor Day Foundation is offering five crapemyrtle trees and The Tree Book to anyone who sends in a $10 membership fee during October.

"Crapemyrtles were selected for this campaign because of their elegant color and form," said John Rosenow, president of the Arbor Day Foundation.

Trees will be shipped at the right time for planting in November or December. The 6 - 12 inch trees come with planting instructions and are guaranteed to grow.

Send membership contributions to Five Crapemyrtles, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave. Nebraska City, NE 68410, or join online at www.arborday.org.
