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. We offer eight choice varieties, six erect growing and 

 two weeping, a selection made for us by one of the most experienced 

 growers. 



Erect Growing Varieties 



Daybreak. One of the earliest to bloom, flowers single pink appear- 

 ing 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 \\ inches in 

 diameter, light pink shading deeper at edges. 



Takasago. Double light pink massed into large compact clusters, 

 very showy, blooms before the leaves appear. 



Ukon. Unique in having yellow flowers slightly tinted green, as the 

 flowers mature the veins in the petals change to cerise; late flower- 

 ing; semi-double. 



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.

 the collection of 6 varieties for $20.00. 



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-ft. stems, 



strong one-year-old heads $5.00 each; or we will supply the entire 



collection of 8 varieties for $25.00.

 native white Dogwood. An ornamental, spreading large Shrub

CotOneaSter (Rockspray, Quinceberry) 



Very ornamental Shrubs with decorative fruits remaining 

 usually throughout the winter. The dwarfer varieties are nearly

branches. Fruit orange-red; semi-evergreen. 

 Henryana. Half evergreen tall growing variety with bright

 and willow-like foliage, bright red fruits extending well along

 bloom, attractive sprays of bright rose-colored pea-shaped 

 flowers. 60 cts. each.
