Japanese Flowering Cherry 



Japanese Flowering Cherries 



The display of Japanese Flowering Cherries at Washington, 

 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. 



Erect Growing Varieties 



Kofugen. Fine, double, deep pink; one of the best. 



Mt. Fuji. Large double pure white. 



Naden. One of the prettiest double pinks, the petals are so 



numerous as to make the flower a perfect tuft. 

 Victory or Shirofugen. Very double, up to 2\ inches borne in 



racemes of about 3 each on long stems; flowers open a delicate 



pink changing to white; late flowering. 



Any of the above in strong plants 4 to 5 feet high, $2.50 each; 

 the collection of 4 varieties for $9.00.
