CERASUS — Japonica var. rosea pendula. 



{Japan Weeping Rose- Flowered Cherry.) 

 Among trees of drooping habit there is none more beautiful than the one represented by the illustration annexed. The 

 beauty of the tree consists not only in its graceful, pendulous habit, but it has besides the merit of producing quantities of 

 flowers in the blossoming season, and the branches when covered with these give the tree a novel, interesting and charming 

 effect, as will be seen from the picture. The foliage of the tree too is handsome. This tree is well suited for either large or 

 small places, and should be planted by itself, where it can have room to develop. By cutting, it can be confined to a small 

 space, and if permitted to grow it will cover considerable ground in the course of time. No drooping tree of recent introduc- 

 tion has more merits than this. It was brought from Japan by Von Siebold. §1.50.
