Japanese Cherry 
AKEBONO (Daybreak) 
This class of trees is possibly our 
leading speciality. We covered them 
so thoroughly on pages 7 to 12 inclu¬ 
sive of 1934 G. A. that there isn’t 
much to add. We can say, however, 
that it is possible, with no great num¬ 
ber of these trees, to provide a con¬ 
tinuous succession of bloom over a 
period of four months, from early 
January when Praecox Apricot starts 
the pageant until late April or even 
early May when Bechtel Crab and the 
latest Japanese Cherries end it. Those 
wishing to see specimens of these 
beautiful trees in bloom are cordially 
invited to visit our nursery any time 
during this period. If you can come 
o J. XX j w U VClX1 CU111C 
only once we suggest the middle of March. Should you wish further information or 
advice about making a selection for continous bloom do not hesitate to come or write 
and ask us about it. Everything in this class of trees available for this season is 
priced in Part II of this booklet. 
FLOWERING FRUIT 
TREES 
DECIDUOUS ORNAMENTAL TREES 
CUTLEAF WEEPING BIRCH (Betula pendula gracilis). Some think this tree is a 
little too inclined to stand on its dignity and be formal. True, the trunk is very erect 
and primary branches ascending, but the long cord-like secondary branches droop most 
pleasingly, and the snow white bark is attractive summer and winter. 18-20 ft. $7.50, 
16-18 ft. $5.00, 14-16 ft. $4.00, 12-14 ft. $2.50, 10-12 ft. $2.25, 8-10 ft. $2.00, 6-8 ft. $1.50. 
CARRIERE HAWTHORN (Crataegus carrierei). This beautiful large-berried Haw¬ 
thorn was described on page 14 of 1934 G. A. Nearly every visitor to our nursery ad¬ 
mires our large specimen plant, particularly from late summer to early winter when 
it is carrying its heavy crop of large glossy red berries or haws. 10-12 ft. $2.75, 8-10 
ft. $2.00, 6-8 ft. $1.75, 5-6 ft. $1.50, 4-5 ft. $1.25. 
MAIDENHAIR TREE (Ginkgo biloba). The common name is very apt as the leaves 
are shaped just like those of the Maidenhair Fern. In spite of appearances it is really 
of coniferous type. One of its 
great charms is the pure gold of 
its leaves in Autumn. It has been 
said that it drops all its leaves in 
a single night, but that is only 
poetic exaggeration. Still it does¬ 
n’t take many nights so for several 
days it stands on a golden carpet. 
It is also claimed that it is no 
longer growing wild anywhere in 
the world but has been preserved 
from antiquity around temple 
grounds in the Orient and has been 
distributed as an exotic all over 
the temperate regions of the world. 
Makes a large tree eventually so 
should be given plenty of room to 
develop. 7-8 ft. $2.25, 6-7 ft. $1.75, 
5-6 ft. $1.50, 4-5 ft. $1.25, 3-4 ft. 
$ 1 . 00 .
