CERASUS. Cherry 
A very ornamental family of trees. The drooping varieties are especially adapted to beautify small grounds. As

sively planted.

lar rounded form, with perfect heart-shaped leaves of a pure green color, glossy surface above, and 
grayish green beneath. The tree derives the name of lied Bud from the profusion of delicate 
reddish purple flowers with which it is covered before the foliage appears. Flowering at the same 
time with the Chinese Magnolias, it may be planted among them in groups with fine effect. Grown 
as single specimens they are also beautiful and attractive, and deserve to be classed among our 
finest ornamental trees. 50c.

growing from 16 to 25 feet high. The flowers produced in spring before the leaves appear are 
from 3 to 3^2 inches in diameter, white and very showy. They begin to appear just as the Mag¬ 
nolia flowers are fading, and are invaluable for maintaining a succession of bloom in the garden 
border or on the lawn. They also are very durable, lasting in favorable weather more than two 
weeks. Besides being a tree of fine form, its foliage is of a grayish green color, glossy and hand¬ 
some, and in the autumn turns to a deep red, rendering the tree one of the most showy and beau¬ 
tiful objects at that season. $1.00. 
var. flore rubro. Red-flowered Dogwood. B. A variety producing flowers suffused with 
bright red; blooms when quite young. One of the finest flowering trees. $1.50.
