Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
Ojochin. The name translated means ' paper lantern,” or as we would 
say, Chinese lantern. The flowers are very large, semi-douhle and pink 
tinted. The tree is very vigorous, upright in growth, but not nearly so 
spreading as the varieties just mentioned. It is an exceedingly prolific variety. 
Shogetsu (Moon hanging low by a Pine Tree). Extract from Circular 
313 , U. S. Department of Agriculture. ‘‘Tree up to 15 feet high, with a 
broad, flat crown; bark gray; young foliage and expanded leaf scales a 
characteristic pale 
greenish yellow; flow¬ 
er buds deep rose-pink, 
ovoid truncate; sepals 
pale brown or green, 
coarsely serrate or 
partly entire; flowers 
double, with about 30 
petals, very pale pink, 
sometimes white in the 
center, slightly deeper 
pink at the margins, 
up to 2 inches across, 
with one or two green 
leafy carpels protrud¬ 
ing, in pendulous clus¬ 
ters of 3 to 6 , with a 
rather short peduncle 
and longer pedicels. It 
is one of the handsom¬ 
est of the double-flow¬ 
ering cherries, and 
merits wide cultiva¬ 
tion. The smaller flow¬ 
ers sometimes are very 
double and compact Japanese Rosejlowering Cherry: Kwanzan 
and when partly open suggest pink and white English daisies.” 
Mrs. a. E. Wohlert is a new variety, a sport from Kwanzan, showing 
a greater brilliancy than the parent variety; otherwise, similar in habit of 
growth and style of bloom. 
Fujizan (Mf. Fu/i) is a lovely variety highly valued here as well as in 
Japan, where it was named after the sacred Mt. Euji. It is somewhat longer 
petaled and not so full as other varieties of this class, but the snowy 
white flowers are very large and heavy, produced in great abundance.
