Flowers Double 
AMANOGAWA, (Milky Way). CDE. Unlike all others in its extremely narrow erect growth 
which takes little room. Flowers semi-double, pink, in erect clusters. 
* DAIKOKU, (God of Prosperity). CD. Flowers are large and very double (40-50 petals); soft 
pink toward center, deeper carmine pink outside. Recently imported and excellent. 
*GOSHO, (Five-Stemmed). CDE. As name indicates, the flowers are almost always in clusters 
of 5, moderately double (about 18 petals) and rich pink. This is one of the showiest of the 
doubles as even when flowers are old they are out beyond the leaves. 
HORINJI. DF. One of the very finest doubles but very scarce. The light pink double flowers 
are large, abundantly borne in very large, somewhat drooping clusters. It has an unusually long 
blooming period. Although one of the earliest doubles, it is still in flower with the latest. 
JUGATSU, (October). BCE. Some years it blooms in late October and again in Spring or may. 
continue through winter; other years it will not bloom until spring. Belongs to the Higan class. 
Flowers are daintily formed, light pink with cerise tips, and borne very profusely over a long 
period. Growth is slow. Often known by its botanical name, Prunus subhirtella autumnalis. 
KANZAN. CDEF. Also called Kwanzan, Sekiyama and Hizakura. All names except last mean 
Gateway to the Mountain. Probably the most common and best known double. Flowers very 
large, up to 2 inches diameter with about 30 large petals; deep rosy pink. 
KURAMAYAMA, (Mt. Kurama). CDEF. Flowers large, up to 2 inches diameter (about 18 
petals) with flesh center strongly stained cerise toward the frilled margins. Color effect very 
fine. Grows very slowly. 
SHIROFUGEN, (Victory). CDE. Color effect very unusual. When first open the very large 
flowers hanging on long stems are soft pink soon becoming white. Then as they get older they 
turn deep cerise so that the tree always has plenty of both pink and white flowers at one time. 
It is an extremely profuse bloomer and good grower. New leaves deepest bronzy purple. Name 
really means something like White Goddess. During the first World War we found a tree and 
propagated from it. By the time we were ready to distribute it the War was over, so we named 
it “Victory.” 
SHIROTAE, (Mt. Fuji). DEF. The favorite double white. The moderately double flowers are 
often faintly flushed as they open but soon become snow white. A healthy vigorous grower and 
good bloomer. 
SHOGETSU, (Pine-Moon). CDE. Easily the most profuse bloomer in the doubles. When in 
full flower the tree is practically a solid mass of bloom. Flowers pale flesh in large clusters. 
Growth very spreading, usually wider than high. Seems to stand heat as the largest specimen of 
this variety and possibly the finest individual Flowering Cherry Tree in the U.S.A. was formerly 
growing in Sacramento. It seems shameful that it was ruthlessly sacrificed to make room for a 
church which could just as well have been placed elsewhere. 
TAIZANFUKUN. CDE. Growth is decidedly erect but not as slender as Amanogawa. Flowers 
rather small but very double, freely produced and pale pink. Autumnal foliage color is really 
gorgeous. 
TANKO-SHINJU, (Pink Pearl). CDEF. One of the few varieties that are widely distributed 
and fairly well known. Excellent in every way. Blooms freely; early; large flowers; color very 
attractive, soft pink center shading to deep pink at edges and on back of flower. Healthy, rea- 
sonably vigorous, and a good variety all around. 
UKON. CD. Unique in having double yellow flowers of good size. Very free bloomer. 
YAE-KANZAN. C. Name means Double Kanzan. While Kanzan is of course double it has 
only about 30 petals. This form has 55 to 60. The center petals are small and erect giving the 
flower a tufted appearance much like a carnation. In all other respects it is identical with Kan- 
zan. Very fine. 
Weeping Varieties 
All plants are top-worked on straight stems of various heights. 
* YAE-BENISHIDARE (Double Park Weeping). In habit this is identical with the well-known — 
Park Weeping but differs in having very beautiful fully double pink flowers. It is quite probable 
that this will ultimately become the most popular Weeping Cherry, but as yet it has not had time 
to become at all widely known. 5 ft. stems $3.50; 4 ft. stems, selected $3.00, usual grade $2.50. 
KIKU-SHIDARE, (Double Pink Weeping). Name means Chrysanthemum Weeping. Really 
only semi-weeping as branches droop but do not really grow downward. Still it has to be top- 
grafted to make a good tree. It is a tremendous bloomer. Flowers of medium size, extremely 
double and very deep pink. 5 ft. stems, selected $3.00, usual grade $2.50; 4 ft. stems, selected 
$2.50, usual grade $2.25. 
We also grow the well-known Eureka Weeping with flesh-colored flowers turning white, the 
more vigorous Park Weeping with deeper pink flowers, and Shidare-yoshino with larger pure 
white flowers. However, stock of all three is so limited this season we think best not to offer 
them here. Anyone interested can write for information about what is available.
