PRUNUS 
Japanese Flowering Cherries 
For years we have made a specialty of growing these 
stately trees and shrubs, some of which should be in¬ 
cluded in every planting, large or small, for they are 
indeed worth while. The Flowering Cherries planted 
along the Tidal Basin at Washington, D. O., a present 
from Japan, attract thousands of visitors annually to 
see them in bloom in April and May. 
Stocks of these same trees and many others are now 
obtainable so that everyone can enjoy the fairy-like 
spectacle by planting them in their own gardens and 
grounds. They thrive in almost any kind of soil and 
all are hardy. 
Amanogawa. Upright Cherry. Its habit of growth is 
quite distinct as it is as upright as a Lombardy poplar 
tree. The semi-double, fragrant pink flowers hang 
from it in clusters beginning about May 10.
