95451. No. 8. A wide-spreading tree 

 about 15 feet high, with a rather 

 flat crown and large double-white 

 flowers tinged with pink below and 

 at the margins. The pale straw- 

 yellow young foliage and leafy car-

 Shogetsu, with which it may prove 

 identical.

 10 feet high, with dark gray-brown 

 bark and green or slightly brownish 

 young foliage. From the deep-pink 

 globose-truncate buds protrude two 

 leafy carpels. The double flowers, 

 with about 40 petals, are clear pink, 

 1% inches across, with a number 

 of tufted petaloids partly obscuring 

 the center of the flower. The flow- 

 ers are in clusters of four to seven, 

 with the clusters often in more or 

 less globular massed. This variety 

 is not yet identified and may be a 

 new form.

 Amygdalaceae. Higan cherry. 



A pendulous variety with double flowers 

 up to three-fourths inch across, pale pink
