KUHAMAYAMA. Name means Mt. 
Kurama. Flowers large, up to 2 inches 
diameter with flesh center strongly 
stained cerise toward the frilled mar¬ 
gins. Color effect very fine. Grows 
very slowly. 
SHIBORI (Bizarre). A very curious 
variety. The small very double flowers 
are a mixture of green and white 
petals. 
SHIROFUGEN (Victory). Color ef¬ 
fect very unusual. When first open the 
large flowers are soft pink soon be¬ 
coming white. Then as they get older 
they turn deep cerise so that the tree 
always has plenty of both pink and 
white flowers at one time. It is an 
extremely profuse bloomer and good grower.

YAE-KANZAN 
New leaves deepest bronzy purple. 
SHIROTAE (Mt. Fuji). The favorite double white. The moderately double flowers are 
often faintly flushed as they open but soon become snow white. 
SHOGETSU. Easily the most profuse bloomer in the doubles. When in full flower the 
tree is practically a solid mass of bloom. Flowers pale flesh in large clusters. Growth 
very spreading, usually wider than high. Seems to stand heat as the largest specimen 
we know of is in Sacramento. 
TAIZAN-FUKUN. Particularly valuable where space is limited as its growth is nar¬ 
rowly erect. Flowers rather small but very double, freely produced and pale pink. 
TAKASAGO. Flowers of medium size, good pink and borne in compact clusters like 
Snowballs. Grows very slowly and makes only a small tree. 
TANKO-SHIN.JU (Pink Pearl). One of the few varieties that are widely distributed 
and fairly well known. Excellent in every way. Blooms freely; early; large flowers; 
color very attractive, soft pink center shading to deep pink at edges and on back of 
flower. Healthy, reasonably vigorous and a good variety all around. 
UKON. Unique in having double yellow flowers 
of good size. Very free bloomer. 
YAE-KANZAN. Name means Double Kanzan. 
While Kanzan is of course double it has only 
about 30 petals. This form has 55 to 60. The 
center petals are small and erect giving the flow¬ 
er a tufted appearance much like a carnation. In 
all other respects it is identical with Kanzan. 
Very fine. ' 
YEDO-ZAKURA. Flowers of good size, deep pink 
in clusters of usually three flowers. Stems short; 
growth only moderate. Quite a beauty and very 
scarce.
