WHOLESALE LIST 



Japanese Floirering 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 varie- 

 ties, single and double, extend the flowering season 

 for fully four weeks, the attractive single-flowered 

 varieties coming into bloom first, followed by the dou- 

 ble 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 



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

 g"le pink appearing before the leaves in greatest 

 profusion. 



Naden. One of the prettiest double pmks, the petals 

 are so numerous as to make the flower a perfect tuft. 



Pink Pearl. The earliest of the doubles. Flowers 

 fully iy2 inches in diameter, light pink shading 

 deeper at the edges; very free. 



Takasago. Double light pink massed into large com- 

 pact clusters, very showy, blooms before the leaves 

 appear. „ ,. , , 



T'kon. Unique in having yellow flowers slightly 

 tinted green, as the flowers mature the veins m the 

 petals change to cerise; late flowering; semi-double. 



Victory or Slilrofugen. Very double, up to 2i,i inches 

 in diameter borne in racemes of about 3 each on long 

 stems; flowers open a delicate pink changing to 

 white; late flowering. 



Price. Any of the above in strong plants 4 to 5 feet 

 high §2.50 each. 



Weeping Varieties 



Eureka "Weeping (Japanese Weeping Rose Flowering 

 Cherry). A single light pink that has been grown 

 in this country for 50 years, a tribute to its beauty 

 and popularity. 



Park Weeping. Differs from the above in the color of 

 its flowers which are of a deep pink and a stronger 

 grower. 



Price. Either of the above two weeping varieties on 

 4-foot stems, strong one-year-old heads $3.50 each. 



Pyracantha (Crataegus) Coccinea Lalandi 



(Firethorn or Evergreen Tliorn) 



There is no other fruiting evergreen Shrub that is so 

 attractive throughout the year as this fiery Thorn, and 

 which will succeed in any fairly sunny position, devel- 

 oping 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 luay be trained with -wonderful 

 effect against a wall. Its large trusses of white flow- 

 ers are followed in summer by an abundance of bril- 

 liant orange-scarlet berries, which, remaining on the 

 plants throughout the winter produce a gorgeous 

 effect. Strong pot-grown plants 15 to IS inches high, 

 ".■> cts. each. 



Viburnum Carlesi 



A rare Korean variety which is entirely distinct 

 with salver-shaped flowers of a delicate rose tinted 

 white, passing" to white sweet-scented flowers pro- 

 duced in terminal subglobose cymes 2 to 3 inches in 

 diameter, reminding one somewhat of a spray of Bou- 

 vardia. Good bushy specimens 1% to 2 feet high, §1.50 

 each. 



Vitex Macrophylla 



In general habit similar to V. Agnu.s Castxi.s, but 



much strong'er in all parts, the foliage being larger 

 while the trusses of rich lavender-blue flowers are 

 fully double the size. It blooms from July until frost, 

 and is likely to become as popular as the Butterflv 

 Shrub. 



Field-grown plants, one-year old, 15 to 18 inches 

 high, $2.50 per doz. ; .$2O.0O per 100.
