280 THE CHERRY. 



mires a bcantiful flowering tree, cannot refuse a place in his 

 garden to this one, so highly ornamentah Its blossoms, which 

 appear at the usual season, are produced in the most showy- 

 profusion ; they are about an inch and a half in diameter, and 

 resemble clusters of the most lovely, full double, white roses. 

 The tree has the habit and foliage of the Mazzard Cherries, and 

 soon forms a large and lofty head.

Small Double Flowering. 



Cerisier a Fleurs Doubles. Thomp. K Duh. 



This is a double flowering variety of the sour or Kentish 

 cherry, and has the more dwarfish habit and smaller leaves 

 and branches of that tree — scarcely forming more than a large 

 shrub, on which account it is perhaps more suitable for small 

 gardens. The flowers are much like those of the large double 

 flowering, but they are not so regular and beautiful in their 

 form.

Serrulated Leaved Cherry, f ^^''- ^^"• 



This is a very rare variety, recently imported from China, 

 with the leaves cut on the edges in that manner known as ser- 

 rulate by botanists. Its flowers, which are borne in fascicles, 

 are white, slightly tinged with pink, and nearly as double as 

 those of the large double flowering. The tree considerably re- 

 sembles the sour cherry tree, and appears rather dwarfi.~;h in its 

 growth.
