Cerasus 

 The Flowering Cherries 



IN the Spring these trees are buried under a 

 wealth of bloom, which is strung along the 

 branches. All the stories of the regard for 

 cherry blossoms by the Japanese seem probable 

 when one sees one of these little flowering cherry 

 trees as a mass of delicate bloom.

 Americana. (D). April and May. Profusion of 

 white flowers; fruit yellow. Attractive Autumn

Japanese Weeping Cherry. Cerasus Japoni- 

 CA, VAR. Rosea Pendula. (D). Makes a beauti-
