 native tree, with numerous slender branches,

 shiny green. 50c. 



CEKASUS. Cherry. Kirsche, Ger. Cer- 



isier, Fr. 



A very ornamental family of trees. The drooping 

 varieties are especially adapted to beautify small grounds. 

 As single specimens on the lawn they are unique and 

 haudsome, and require only to be better known in order 

 to be extensively planted. Now that the Kilmarnock 

 Weeping Willow is no longer rare, its place may well be 

 filled with the Japan Weeping Cherry, which is equally 

 ornamental, and is unquestionably destined to become 

 just as popular. 



C. acida var. semperfiorens pendula. Ever-flow- 

 ering Weeping Cherry. C. A fine drooping 

 variety, that bears fruit and flowers all summer. 

 $1.00. 



C. avium var. flore alba plena. Large Double- 

 flowering Cherry. B. At the period of flow- 

 ering in May, a remarkably beautiful and attrac- 

 tive tree. The flowers are so numerous as to 

 conceal the branches, and present to the eye 

 nothing but a mass of bloom, each flower 

 resembling a miniature rose. A valuable variety, 

 deserving of wide dissemination. See Cut. 50c. 



C caproniana ranunculiflora. Ranunculus-like Flowering Cherry. C. An upright grower, producing 

 large, double white flowers, resembling those of a Ranunculus. An important addition. Flowers several 

 days later than the Double White. See Cut. $1.00.

 cherries. See Cut. $1.50.
