D.C.116—The Golden Shower Tree, Miami, Fla. --- The Cassia Fistula is a native of the East Indies but thrives in South Florida. It has great masses of yellow blossoms which undoubtedly suggested its more common name of "Golden Shower Tree". It blooms in June with the Royal Poinciana and Jacaranda trees and all three are sometimes planted together resulting in a brilliant blending of scarlet, yellow and blue which defies description.
