CEDRELA 



C. Sinensis. Chinese Cedrela. (Mr) An ornamental tree, with large, 

 feathery foliage ; very valuable for avenues. Similar to the ailanthus, but of 

 more regular and dense growth and the blossoms have no odor. 



CELTIS 



C. occidentalis. Nettle Tree. (Mm). A valuable shade tree or lawn 

 specimen. Wide-spreading head ; light green foliage, rarely injured by insects. 

 It is of vigorous growth, transplants easily and thrives in almost any soil. In 

 general appearance it resembles the elm. 



CERASUS. Cherry 



Among the flowering trees these demand a prominent place. They are all 

 thrifty, hardy growers, with bright, attractive bark, excellent foliage, and very 

 showy flowers. With the exception of the dwarf and weeping forms, they make 

 excellent shade trees, and C. serotina is a good tree for avenue planting. 



C. avium, var. alba plena. Double White -flowering Cherry. (Lv) 

 A charming small tree, producing a great abundance of large double white 

 flowers in May. The flowers are of a most attractive texture. 



C. avium, var. rosea plena. Double Pink-flowering Cherry. (Lv) 

 Similar to the foregoing, but with pink flowers. 



C. avium, var. rosea pendula. Pink Weeping Japan Cherry. (D v) 

 One of the best flowering weeping trees. The crooked, drooping branches 

 give it a graceful form, and the bright rose-colored blossoms literally cover the 

 branches to the very tips. 



C. Padus. European Bird Cherry. (S m) A pyramidal tree, with rough, 

 speckled bark and oval, abrupt-pointed, dark green foliage. The pure white 

 blossoms in spring are borne on long pedicels, in long, drooping racemes, fol- 

 lowed by black fruit. 



C. serotina. Wild Black Cherry. (Lv) Valuable either as an orna- 

 mental or timber tree, and one of the most beautiful natives. The foliage is the 

 darkest green and retains its color late in the fall, being one of the last to lose 

 its leaves. The flowers, in long, loose racemes, are followed by purple-black 

 fruit ripening in the late summer. 



C. pumila, var. pendula. Weeping Dwarf Sand Cherry. (Ds) A dense 

 twiggy grower, usually grafted on 5- to 6-foot stems, and used as a standard, 

 when it forms a dense, round, somewhat pendulous head. The flowers literally 

 cover the twigs and are followed by small dark red cherries. 



C. Sieboldi, var. rubra plena. (M v) A form in which the double 

 white flowers, tinted with rose, are borne in clusters. 



C. Sinensis, var. alba plena. Double White Chinese Cherry. (M v) 

 An ornamental variety of good growth ; well foliaged and producing huge 

 double white flowers.
