KWANZAN FLOWERING CHERRY 
ROSE-FLOWERING CHERRIES 
Among the flowering trees the rose-flowering 
cherry takes the lead. They vary in form and there- 
fore may be adapted to many uses in landscape work. 
Some are vase-form, others pyramidal in growth, but 
most sorts have wide-spreading branches, vigorous 
in growth, and still others are rather dwarfish. Nearly 
all are tinted various shades of pink, and a few are 
white. Trees are hardy. While known and used in the 
Orient for hundreds of years, these valuable trees are 
rapidly becoming popular and gaining favor in the 
United States. Both upright and weeping growth. 
Prices: 4-6 ft. branched, $1.25; 6-8 ft. branched, $1.50. 
Kwanzan. Double, rose-pink. Handsomest of all 
the double flowering cherries. Blooms just after the 
middle of April (depending somewhat upon locality.) 
The tree is upright and spreading, and at maturity 
25 to 30 feet high. Leaves and flowers appear simul- 
taneously. The buds are red, and the fragrant, rich. 
rose-colored double blossoms are borne in clusters. 
Flowers are very large, up to 2 inches in diameter. 
A graceful and beautiful tree for the lawn or grounds ; 
also adapted for planting in parking strips and along 
avenues. 
Shirofugen—15 ft. Has the very largest flowers 
of any variety that we grow, deep pink in the bud 
and pale pink in the open flowers. It is almost impos- 
sible to describe the beauty of this tree when in full 
bloom. 
Kofguen—Double deep pink, vigorous, upright and 
no great tendency to spread, adapting it to street 
planting. Best deep pink sort. 
Mount Fuji—Pure white ; remains attractive ; calyx 
turning reddish with age. A bushy, small tree, hardy, 
extremely floriferous. 
- WEEPING CHERRY 
One of the finest weeping trees for lawns and small 
grounds. The branches are slender and when grafted 
on tall stems, fall gracefully to the ground. The flow- 
ers are rose-colored, appearing before the leaves. 
No. 1 heads, about 6 feet tall, $2.75. 
Single Pink Weeping Cherry. 
Double Pink Weeping Cherry. 


FLOWERING CRAB (Malus) 
Producing flower effects equal to those of more 
talked-of cherries. The crabs are hardy and add a 
charm of fragrant wildness to a planting. 
They are extremely hardy and will thrive in posi- 
tions and exposures which would be fatal to the more 
delicately constituted cherries. They also exhibit a 
greater variety in character of tree, a wider range of 
color in their blossoms, and in autumn are adorned 
with glittering clusters of fruit in shades of green, 
yellow, orange, searlet, and crimson. No other flow- 
ering trees equal the flowering crabs in profusion of 
bloom, and among other good qualities, varieties may 
be selected which have a restricted growth or dwarf 
habit so that they will never become too large and 
clumsy. 
Prices: 4-5 ft. branched $1.00; 5-6 ft. branched $1.25. 
Atrosanguinea—In early May, every twig and 
branchlet of the Carmine Crab is covered with elus- 
ters of dark pink, almost crimson flowers. It is some- 
what taller than other crabs and is a handsome lawn 
specimen. Ultimate height 15 feet or more. 
Bechtel’s—The flowers are a beautiful shade of 
pink, are large, very double and fragrant, resembling 
little roses. It blooms somewhat later than most va- 
rieties. 
Dolgo—Hardy fiery red crab, desirable for eculi- 
nary uses; bears young and abundantly. Good for 
ornamental purposes. 
Eleyi—Attractive reddish foliage in spring chang- 
ing to pink. Clustered single rose-pink flowers fol- 
lowed by showy red fruit. 
Floribunda purpurea—lIn habit it resembles Flori- 
bunda. Its purple foliage and bark, single crimson 
flowers and fruit make it a distinct departure from 
the ordinary. The flowers and fruit are carried on 
long, pendulous stems and are produced in great 
abundance on mature trees. It is a strong erower, 
and when in bloom, its blossoms completely conceal 
the twigs and branches. 
Hopa—A beautiful, upright growing tree with at- 
tractive foliage. Entirely covered with rose-colored 
flowers in April. Fruit red inside and out, hanging 
on until late autumn. Very hardy and free from dis- 
ease. Planted extensively. a 
Niedzwetzkyana—A very interesting variety with 
purplish foliage which makes a very pleasing contrast 
when used with other flowering crabs or any other 
flowering trees or shrubs. Bears large edible fruit. 
Parkmani—An irregular shaped little tree when 
young, Parkman’s Crab assumes a most attractive pie- 
turesque habit as it grows older. The flowers are 
bright rosy red, double, and droop gracefully on 
threadlike pedicels. It is a gorgeous ornament to any 
planting, and has long been a favorite of the Japanese. 
Scheideckeri—The flowers of Sheidecker’s Crab 
are double, bright pink, last a long time, and the fruit, 
which is produced ingreat profusion, is waxy yellow. 
The tree has a regular pyramidal habit, about 15 feet 
high. Best and easiest to flower. 
Spectabilis (Chinese Flowering Crab)—Growth de- 
eidedly erect and vase-like. Flowers double, fairly 
large and light pink, followed in'autumn with beauti- 
ful red fruit.
