n^HIS gay little tree is a Japanese Cherry 

 ± named Mt. Fuji, which at the time of its 

 flowering dominates the garden as does its great 

 namesake the blossomy island of Japan. In its 

 shadow bloom Aubrietia, Golden Alyssum, Iris 

 pumila caerulea, and the pretty pale Star Daf- 

 fodil Minnie Hume. 



Later in the summer the tall stalks and 

 feathery flower spikes of the Japanese Snake- 

 root (Cimicifuga japonica) reach up among the 

 low branches of the tree, and on still further into 

 the fall frail Japanese Anemones flower here. 



In the border at the left, which is the same as 

 that shown in Plate No. 10 {June 10th), we see 

 Golden Alyssum, Hardy Candytuft, Anchusa 

 myosotidiflora, and the bright orange-scarlet Tu- 

 lip Thomas Moore. The little pink-flowered 

 shrub at the end of the border is the Rosette 

 Plum (Prunus triloba).
