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 prob- 

 able when one sees one of these little flower- 

 ing cherry trees a mass of delicate bloom. In 

 addition to the flowers, the young wood of 

 many varieties is noted for its beautiful bark. 



Double White-flowering Cherry. Ce- 

 rasus Avium; var. alba flora plena. (M). 

 Numerous white flowers conceal the branches 

 in May. One of the most attractive flower- 

 ing trees.

Japanese Weeping Cherry. Cerasus J aponica ; 

 VAR. Rosea Pendula. (D). Makes a beautiful 

 lawn specimen, and is so small that it can be used 

 in very limited areas. The drooping branches 

 almost touch the ground, and when, in May, they 

 are clothed with innumerable delicate pink flowers, 

 there is nothing that surpasses it in beauty. At 

 other seasons the foliage is good and the tree presents 

 a very attractive appearance.

 light bark and graceful branches, that bear drooping 

 racemes of sweet-scented white Wistaria-like flowers

 for simply producing ornamental effects, although 

 in time it assumes tiie proportions of a shade tree.

Cornus. Dogwood 



The many desirable qualities of the Dogwoods 

 make them among the most popular flowering trees. 

 The early Spring flowers are followed by attractive 

 red berries. Although the foliage is always good, it is 

 in Fall of the year that it colors up to such brilliant 

 shades of scarlet. There are several Shrubs listed 

 under this name. They are entirely different in their 

 nature of growth and will be found fully described in 

 their alphabetical place under the Shrub Chapter. 



White Dogwood. Cornus Florida. (D). Of 

 inestimable value in landscaping. The white petaled 

 flowers cover the trees in early Spring. These, you 

 may have noticed, are notched in the end. This is 

 caused by the frost, the Winter buds being unpro- 

 tected. These little trees are indifferent to most 

 insect pests, will thrive in moist as well as dry 

 ground and are attractive almost everywhere.

Japanese Dogwood. Cornus Kousa. (D). In 

 many respects similar to our well-known native 

 variety, but different principally in the season of 

 bloom which in this case is June or July. As yet a 

 rare variety, given much promise of extensive use..
