Prunus subhirtella pendula 
For several years at bloom-time 
the Flowering Cherries around the 
tidal basin at Washington have 
been the mecca for hundreds of 
thousands of American citizens. 
At Cherry-blossom-time, all 
roads leading to Washington are 
lined with cars on their way to 
view this grand spectacle. Truly 
the Japanese Government made 
more than a friendly gesture when 
they presented those trees to the 
United States. Rivaling the 
Cherry-blossom display, but on a 
smaller scale, is the Dogwood dis¬ 
play at Valley Forge. This also 
draws thousands of visitors daily 
during the period when the Dog¬ 
woods are in bloom. 
You will find the finest Dog¬ 
woods and Cherries listed in these 
pages. Plant some and have 
your own display.
