Weeping Cherry (Prunus Pendula) 
Shade and Flowering Trees 
Fortunate indeed is the home-owner who starts his 
landscaping on a site already containing an adequate 
number of shade trees of desirable vareities. But most 
of us have to provide our own trees and the following 
list contains much helpful information in making a 
proper selection. 

Cut-Leaf Weeping Birch 
BIRCH (Betula) 
European White Birch (B. alba). A tall, graceful tree with 
spraylike branches and white bark which makes pleasing con- 
trasts in summer or winter. 40 feet. 
European White Birch (Clump Form). This variety is iden- 
tical with the above except it is grown, in our nursery, with 
three treelike leaders or stems branched at the ground, giving 
a naturalistic effect as often seen in the woods. Very dis- 
tinctive. 40 feet. 
European Pyramidal White Birch (B. alba fastigiata). This 
is the pyramidal form of the regular Betula alba, having 
same foliage, leaves and bark excepting grows in a slender, 
upright form similar to poplars, but more admired. 30 feet. 
Purple Birch (B. purpurea). This Birch is very similar to the 
Betula alba, with more open, spreading branches. The new 
branches and leaves are a purple-blue color. The bark on the 
main body and older limbs become a snow-white, giving a 
very attractive contrast. 40 feet. 
Weeping Cutleaf Birch (B. alba pendula laciniata). The 
Queen of all Birches is this unusually graceful, drooping 
tree; particularly adapted as a lawn specimen or in groups 
of three trees for outstanding background. The bark is very 
white. 50 feet. See colored illustration. 
CHERRY (Prunus) 
Among the flowering trees the Japanese Rose-Flowering 
Cherry is one of the most popular. They may be used for a 
street parking tree, single specimen for the lawn or in mass 
plantings; any of which give a very colorful effect. We offer 
selections of very dark to light pinks and white; also single 
and double varieties. 
Kwanzan. Double deep pink; vigorous, upright grower. Fine 
street tree. 
Mount Fuji. Pure double white; best of the white varieties. 
Medium size, bushy form. 
Naden. Double, light pink, late flowering; vigorous, upright 
growing; among the best. 
Paul Wohlert. Semi-double, deep pink; fragrant; semi-dwarf 
growing; suitable for limited space; very free bloomer. 
Weeping Cherry (P. pendula). This type of Rosebud Japanese 
Cherry is top-grafted on a hardy variety of Cherry about five 
feet from the ground. The drooping branches fall in a foun- 
tain form nearly to the ground and when in blossom produce 
a most gorgeous and colorful effect. The blossoms are pink 
and may be gotten in either single or double varieties. See 
colored illustration.
