FLOWERING CHERRIES 
[Cerasus] 
The Japanese Flowering Cherries are a recently developed 
line of small sized flowering trees which is taking America 
by storm. Some types are well known, but most named varie¬ 
ties are new in the catalogs and in general use. We have a 
very fine stock of them. 
Amanogawa (Milky Way). A unique tree form similar 
■■ to Lombardy Poplar, with upright branches 
hugging the main trunk. These are literally covered full 
length with also upright short stems crowned by lovely 
semi-double pink flowers of delightful fragrance. This type 
takes up little room, and is consequently very valuable as 
an accent shrub in general groupings. 3 to 4 feet, $1.00. 
4 to 6 feet, $1.75. 6 to 8 feet, $2.50. 
Beni-Higran (C. subhirtella). The famous “Spring 1 Cherry” 
of Japan, deep pink in the buds, expanding to a flushed 
white. 2 year, grafted on 5- to 6-ft. stems, $2.75. 
Japan Weeping (C. subhirtella pendula). The “Rosebud 
Cherry,” longest known of this wonderful family in Amer¬ 
ican landscapes; popularized by its adaptability to small 
lawns where its swaying wands, so thickly studded with light 
pink bloom, are an outstanding incident of spring. Grafted 
on 5- to 6-ft. stems. 1-year heads, $2.25. 2-year heads, $3.50.

Tames H. Veitch (C. fugenzo). One of the best varieties; 
large, double, pink flowers with reddish green calyx, con¬ 
trasting attractively against the handsome foliage. 
Kofugen (Pink Saint). Vigorously upright and symmetrical. 
Crimson buds, expanding into double flowers that are red, 
fading to old rose. 
Kwanzan (Sekiyama, Sekizan) (Sacred Gate). Usually in 
bush form but of good height; the flowers being very full 
and double, deep pink or old rose, varying in tone according 
to weather conditions. Popularly used in Japan as gateway 
guardians. 
Mt. Fuji (Fujizan) (C. incisa). A stocky, sturdy type; snow- 
white blossoms with yellow anthers, equally beautiful after 
the petals have fallen when the conspicuous calyx shows red 
and finally crimson. 
Paul Wohlert. A beautiful variety inclined to be short and 
spreading. The flowers are semi-double; very early, red to 
deep pink. 
Shirofugen. Similar to Kwanzan in character, but unique in 
that its buds are pale ; and the opened flowers show but the 
merest tint of pink. 
Sieboldi. (Double Pink). Semi-double, white tinged with red. 
Yosbino. One of the loveliest of all, most popular in Japan, 
and the kind that gives that magnificent sweep of pink color 
along the Tidal Basin at Washington, when “Cherry Time” 
draws its thousands of flower-lovers to the Capital. Fast 
growing and wide-spread, the early flowers very dense on 
the branches ; buds red, the single flowers • blush pink ma¬ 
turing to white with a purplish pink center. 
CORNUS [The Dogwoods] 
Cornus florida (White Flowering Dogwood). Flowers white. 
3 to 3% inches in diameter, in spring before leaves appear. 
Spreading, irregular form, growing 20 to 25 feet high. Used 
in tall shrub backgrounds and corner groups, sparkling white 
bloom in spring, and crimson autumn foliage. 
2 to 3 feet, 65c. 3 to 4 feet, 90c. 4 to 5 feet, $1.25. 
Cornus florida rubra (Red-Flowering Dogwood). Slower 
growing and more formally shaped, with handsome rose- 
red flowers. An attractive lawn specimen or group subject. 
As we grow them, these small trees are among the most 
popular of all the “fancy” types for group association with 
such kinds as the Flowering Cherries, Flowering Crabs, and 
Flowering Thorns. 
2 to 3 feet, $1.25. 3 to 4 feet, $2.00. 4 to 5 feet, $3.25. 
FLOWERING CRABS [Malus] 
Rounded, compact, small trees, largely used in lawn groups 
and high shrub borders, for their profuse early bloom ; their 
dense, glossy, handsome foliage which colors richly ; and their 
ornamental fruits. 
No tree could be more lovely than are these in their first 
stage of deep colored, round, shiny buds; then their second 
stage of part buds and part opened flowers ; followed by a 
smothering expanse of full-bloom flowers. Then comes their 
final gesture, later, when the trees are sparkling with brilliant 
fruits,—varying in size and color, according to the variety. 
Bechtel’S. The only genuine double flowered Crab. Makes 
a medium sized tree ; perfectly hardy. When in bloom ap¬ 
pears to be covered with delicate pink, perfectly double small 
roses of delicious fragrance. (See color illustration on back 
cover).
