Also called the Rose Flowering Cherry. The most notable trees 



of this group in the United States are at Washington, D. C. This 



collection of trees was presented to our nation by the City of 



Tokio, Japan. They were planted along the Potomac River 



Drive, and now since they have come into bloom are visited by 



everybody in Washington during the blooming season. The 



fame of these Cherries has spread all over the United States, and 



as they are hardy everywhere they should be largely planted. 



WHITE FLOWERING CHERRY (Cerasus Avium Alba)— 



Beautiful small trees absolutely covered with flowers in the 



springtime. They are of very easy culture and will do well in 



any location where the soil is fertile and well drained. Flowers 



of this variety are pure white and are found in clusters on 



every twig. Price, 3 to 4 ft., $2.19 each. 



PINK FLOWERING CHERRY (Cerasus Avium Rosea)— 



These trees are covered with flowers of a deep rose color, in 



clusters all over the trees. Has the same habit otherwise as the 



White Flowering. Price, 3 to 4 ft. trees, $2.19 each.

BEAUTY BUSH 



Kolkwitzia Amabilis 



The New Flowering Shrub from China 



IT is a twiggy shrub, growing from 6 to 8 feet tall, with the inner 

 stems erect or ascending and the outer ones arching to the 

 ground, the whole plant forming a dome-shaped mass. The 

 flowers are produced along the whole length of the branches in 

 clusters at the ends of short, leafy shoots. They are tubular with 

 a gaping mouth, deep pink without, stained with yellow-brown on 

 the lower throat and lip. The pedicals and ovary are clad with 

 spreading, white, bristle-like hairs which add to the attractiveness 

 of the inflorescence. 



Related to the Weigelias or Diervillas, it is far more beautiful 

 than any of them, and is destined to become one of the most 

 familiar plants in our garden. These plants are rare and beau- 

 tiful. Order early. Price, 1-year field plants, $1.00 each;
