Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
Japanese T^oseflowering Qherries 
The Japanese ornamental Cherries are among the most beautiful of all the .Towering 
trees and take the lead possibly because of the popular appeal of the well advertised 
"Cherry Blossom Time” in Washington, D. C. 
They vary a great deal in form and therefore can be adapted to many uses in 
decorating the garden, either as specimens on the lawn, in small groups, for lining 
lanes and avenues, and as vistas. The colors of flowers range from pure white, to 
blush and delicately tinted pinks, on through to deep pinks or old rose. These Cherries 
will thrive in any reasonably good, well-drained soil, with average moisture. In 
general, the same soil conditions should prevail under which the fruiting types of 
cherries do best. These can be grown throughout the same areas as the peach, and 
even somewhat farther north.
