JAPAN FLOWERING CHERRIES 
[Cerasus] 
Ama-no-gawa (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 grouping.

Beni-Higan (C. subhirtella). The famous “Spring Cherry” 
of Japan, deep pink in the buds, expanding to a flushed 
white. 2-year, grafted on 5-ft. stems, $2.50. 
Japan Weeping (C. subhirtella pendula). The “Rose- 
— . .— - hud Cherry,” longest known of this 
wonderful family in American landscapes; popularized by

incident of spring. Grafted on 5- to 6-ft. stems. Tops 
pruned ready for planting.

spreading. The flowers are semi-double; very early, red to 
deep pink.

that its buds are pale; and the opened flowers show but the 
merest tint of pink.

Yoshino. One of the loveliest of all, most popular in Japan, 
and the kind that gives that magnificent sweep of pink color

thrive in our climate.

final gesture, later, when the trees are sparkling with brilliant 
fruits,—varying in size and color, according to the variety.
