the Woods". "Var. Ojochin. Flowers very slightly double, 

 large (1| inches), almost pure white on short upright 

 stems; slightly fragrant; late flowering (May in Mary- 

 land). Though the flowers are not borne in masses and 

 the tree is not therefore as showy as that of other 

 varieties the unusual size and beauty of the individ- 

 ual flowers, resembling single roses, make it attrac- 

 tive for door yards. Foliage bronze and golden in 

 autumn. Tree not very vigorous." (Fairchild.) 



Prunus serrulata Lindley. (Amygdalaceae . ) 45052. Jap- 

 anese flowering cherry plants grown at the Plant Introduc- 

 tion Field Station, Rockville, Maryland, from scions 

 presented by Mr. David Fairchild from his place "In 

 the Woods". "Var. Daizen. Single white medium-sized 

 flowers (1 inch) with distinct cherry fragrance. Mid- 

 season (April 20 to May 1 in Maryland). The flowers 

 are scattered most attractively through the tree but 

 the green leaves come out early mixing with them and 

 preventing the tree from being very striking. Not 

 one of the showy varieties but an unusually vigorous 

 grower and produces many seeds. Foliage in autumn 

 golden yellow." (Fairchild.) 



Prunus serrulata Lindley. (Amygdalaceae.) 45054. Jap- 

 anese flowering cherry plants grown at the Plant Introduc- 

 tion Field Station, Rockville, Maryland, from scions 

 presented by Mr. David Fairchild from his place "In 

 the Woods". "Var. Amenogawa. Translated meaning Milky 

 way. One of the most striking varieties because of its 

 upright or fastigiate growth. Peculiarly suited for 

 architectural uses. Medium-sized white to very light 

 pink flowers on short stems borne in great masses 

 concealing the branches. Seen from below suggests 

 characteristic name. Tree not very vigorous." (Fair- 

 child. ) 



Primus serrulata Lindley. (Amygdalaceae.) 45055. Jap- 

 anese flowering cherry plants grown at the Plant Introduc- 

 tion Field Station, Rockville, Maryland, from scions 

 presented by Mr. David Fairchild from his place "In 

 the Woods". "Var. Ussussumi. Very late variety, May 1, 

 with hanging, large, very double flowers borne in 

 clusters. Petals are tinged with light brown giving 

 them a strange not unattractive appearance. The young 

 leaves borne at same time as the flowers are dark 

 bronze. In autumn the foliage turns a claret red. 

 Tree a fairly rapid grower but the trunk inclined to 

 be tender. Flowers very profusely." (Fairchild.)
