Japanese Cherries 
The Flowering Cherries of Japan are becoming increasingly 
popular as more people learn how easy it is to grow them. 
We present to you only the few “best” varieties listed below 
to hasten your acquaintance with this fine type of flowering 
tree. Every tree is a specimen tree. 
Culture is similar to that of ordinary shade trees. Branch 
tips should be cut back one-third when transplanting. Trees 
should be watered copiously until new roots take hold. 
Shipments must be made in early spring before leaves appear. 
Orders should be placed accordingly. 
Ichiyo (Hisakura). Double, pink flowers in heavy trusses. 
Attains height of 20 to 30 feet. 5-6', S3 each. 
Naden (Seibold Flowering Cherry). A most beautiful 
variety. Trees heavily laden with clusters of light pink, 
semi-double flowers on short stems. 5-6', S3 each. 
Okumiyako. Semi-double; clear pink. A new, attractive 
variety. 5-6', S3 each. 
Flowering Crab-Apples 
Flowering Crab-apples or “Crabs” exceed the Japanese 
Cherry in beauty, fragrance, hardiness, and beauty of fruit, 
with the added advantage of lower cost. There are varieties 
for every purpose: low-growing types for hedges; stately 
specimen trees for accent; and irregularly branched varieties 
for picturesque screens. Colors range from white to deep 
purple. 
Plant them in early spring or late fall. In transplanting 
cut back all branches at least one-third their length. This 
means less work for the disturbed roots and, ultimately, a 
bushier tree. 
Aldenham Crab ( Malus Aldenhami). Reddish cast to 
foliage. Free flowering, with rich red blossoms. 5-6', $2 
each; 6-8', $2.75. 
Carmine Crab (A/. Airosanguinea). Deep carmine flowers 
in profusion. 4-5', $1.25 each; 5-6', $1.50. 
Bechtel’s Crab (A/, ioensis Bechleli ). Large, double, shell- 
pink flowers with intense fragrance. Late 
blooming. 4-5', $1.25 each; 5-6', $1.50. 
Parkman’s Crab (A/. Halliana Parkmani). 
Semi-double, bright rose flowers on picturesque, 
irregular branches. 5-6', $1.50 each.

followed by a profusion of red fruit. Dwarf, 
spreading habit. 3-4', $1.25 each; 4-5', $1.50.
