JAPANESE WEEPING CHERRIES 
SH1DARE HIGAN ZAKURA (Prunus Subhirtella Pendula, var. Rosea). Single; 
pink; early; alter Beni Higan, the first tree to bloom in the spring and the 
first deep pink flowers of the season. It is safe to say it is the first flower¬ 
ing tree of the season in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

We have several other forms of Weeping Cherry of the subhirtella family, 
one of which is double flowering. It seems to stay in bloom somewhat longer 
than the single flowering. The color is identical, but the flowers are very full 
with approximately two dozen petals. We can supply this variety at an addi¬ 
tional charge of $1.00 on most of the sizes we offer above in both the pyramid 
and standard forms. 
Another form we are introducing, and which we are temporarily calling 
“Fringe Cherry," was propagated from a tree on the property of one of our 
friends in the vicinity of Philadelphia, who bought a section of an old estate 
that had been planted to a fine collection of exceptionally rare trees, among 
them this unusual Weeping Cherry. The flowers are practically white, the 
branches are thin, pendulent, with small flowers placed so closely on the droop¬ 
ing branches that the effect at a distance is that of a. rice curtain, or should 
I say a tree draped with white fringes. We have been propagating from this tree 
for several years, but the tree was so decrepit that it was difficult to obtain any 
wood worthwhile in spite of the hearty co-operation of the owner. We have 
finally succeeded and can offer the following: 
Standard Form . $7.50 and $10.00 each 
1 yr. old plants . 4.00 each 
2 yr. old plants . 5.00 each 
SHIDARE YOSHINO (Weeping Yoshino). Large, single, pure white flowers. 
Branches much thicker than on Shidare Higan, but spaced further apart. 
The leaves are much larger. The picturesque shape of the tree with or with¬ 
out flowers or leaves is very attractive.

4 to 5 ft. 6.00
