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-

 ing cherry trees a mass of delicate bloom. In 

 addition to the flowers, the young wood of 

 man}' varieties is noted for its beautiful bark.
