Flowering Cherries 
Not without reason have the Japanese 
looked upon the Flowering Cherry with 
admiration which amounts almost to rev¬ 
erence and given the greatest care to grow¬ 
ing and propagating the finest types. Since 
the trees are easily grown and require lit¬ 
tle care (except plenty of water, which they 
should have), all California gardens should 
have at least one Flowering Cherry. In 
the warmer inland valleys they should be 
planted where they will be sheltered from 
the sun on the west or south side. Prices 
on all varieties except Campanulata, 4-6
