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 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, 



light pink shading deeper at edges. 

 Takasago. Double light pink massed into large compact clusters, very 



showy, blooms before the leaves appear.

mature the veins in the petals change to cerise; late flowering; semi-double. 

 Victory or Shirofugen. Very double, up to 2j inches borne in racemes 



of about 3 each on long stems; flowers open a delicate pink changing to 



white; late flowering.
