Japanese FloTvering' 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 differ- 

 ent 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 of the choicest varieties, six erect 

 growing- and two weeping varieties, a selection made 

 for us by one of the most experienced growers. 



Erect Growing Varieties 



Daybreak. One of the earliest to bloom, flowers sin- 

 g-le pink appearing- before the leaves in greatest 

 profusion. 



Naden. One of the prettiest double pinks, the petals 

 are so numerous as to make the flower a perfect 

 tuft. 



Pink Pearl. The earliest of the doubles. Flowers 

 fully 1% inches in diameter, lig-ht pink shading- 

 deeper at the edges; very free. 



Takasagro. Double light pink massed into large com- 

 pact clusters, very showy, blooms before the leaves 

 appear.

 developing into a shapely plant 6 or more feet high; 

 it may be planted either in connection with other 

 Shrubs or as a single specimen or may be trained
