JAPANESE WEEPING CHERRIES 
SHIDARE HIGAN ZAKURA (Prunus Subhirtella Pendula, var. Rosea). Pink, 
early, after 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 flowering 
tree of the season in the suburbs of Philadelphia. This variety we offer 
in the following forms: 
Pyramid or Bush Form, branched from the ground up, own roots, in 
either single or double flowering. The double flowering 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. 
Standard Form, tree or umbrella shaped. Grafted on trunks or stems 
from 3 to 5 feet high. All our trees have been top pruned, ready lor 
planting. 
FRINGE CHERRY. This is a new weeping Cherry we are introducing. It was 
propagated from a tree on the property of one of my friends in the vicinity 
of Philadelphia, who bought a section of an old estate that had been planted: 
to a fine collection of éxceptionally 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 drooping 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 cooperation of the owner. 
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 
without flowers or leaves is very attractive.
