Japanese Flowering Cherries 



The display of Japanese Flowering Cherries at Washing- 

 ton, D. C, in early spring is one of the great sights of our 

 national capital and annually attracts thousands of visitors. 



These cherries are among the earliest trees to flower coming 

 into bloom early in April. The different varieties single and 

 double extend the flowering season for fully four weeks, the 

 attractive single-flowered varieties coming into bloom first 

 followed by the double sorts. They are perfectly hardy and 

 will succeed in almost any location. We offer eight choice var- 

 ieties, six erect growing and two weeping, a selection made 

 for us by one of the most experienced growers. 



Erect Growing Varieties

appearing before the leaves in greatest profusion.

inches in diameter, light pink-shading deeper at edges.

clusters, very showy, blooms before the leaves appear.
