Cherry. 

 Plant from Colchester. England. Procured from R. Wallace ,v Co. Re- 

 ceived December 4. 101". 

 "Under the erroneous name of Prunus miqueliana this cherry has been cul- 

 tivated in this country for some three or four years and has created a good deal 

 of interest because of its flowering from November onward. Owing, probably, 

 to the excessive mildness of the late autumn of 1913, it made a very charming 

 display at that time. It is a deciduous small tree with nearly ovate lea 

 1A to :U inches Ion- hairy on both surfaces. Flowers pale pink, 1 inch wide."
