The Purple Crab is one of the most appealing flowers we have. 
JAPANESE FLOWERING CHERRIES 
Thousands of tourists go to Japan at the well advertised “Cherry Season” to 
see the flowering cherries, and the increasing number of High School students 
visiting Washington, D. C., in spring have an opportunity to behold these beau¬ 
tiful trees in Potomac Park. It is now possible for you to have them at home 
and much can be done to beautify America by urging town boards to plant 
these and other desirable flowering trees and plants. 
Do not miss the opportunity to see beauty. Take time to see the bloom 
of spring. Even a life time of 20 years if continued to 70 gives but 50 op¬ 
portunities and not all plants bloom each year. There is but one spring each 
year. With A. E. Housman we can say of the cherry: 
Lovliest of trees, the cherry now 
Is hung with bloom along the bough, 
And stands about the woodland ride 
Wearing white for Eastertide. 
Now of my three score years and ten, 
Twenty will not come again, 
And take from seventy springs a score, 
It only leaves me fifty more. 
And since to look at things in bloom, 
Fifty springs are little room, 
About the woodlands I will go 
To see the cherry hung with snow.
