lowering Cherries 
Very beautiful early spring-flowering small trees, seldom growing 
over 25 feet tall. From early to late May they are loaded with single or 
double flowers of great charm and beauty. There are upright growing, 
spreading, and weeping forms of this lovely tree. Should be grown in 
every garden where winters permit their planting. We offer only the 
hardiest varieties which are successfully grown at Highland Park, 
Rochester, N. Y. 
Akebono (Daybreak) Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Erect growing Single Cherry. In our opinion this is the most beautiful 
tree in the world or at least the most beautiful we have ever seen. 
It belongs in the same class as those around the tidal basin in 
Washington, D. C., but there is considerable variation in those trees. 
When in bloom this variety is a cloud of pink with not a leaf showing. 
We get the same old thrill from it every spring as it does not seem 
possible to remember from one year to another how superbly beautiful 
it is. Luckily it is one of the best growers and soon makes a good sized 
and freely blooming tree. 
Amanogawa Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Erect growing, semi-double Cherry. Name means ‘/Milky Way.’’ Unlike 
all others in its extremely narrow, erect growth, which takes little room. 
Flowers semi-double, pink, in erect clusters. 
Kanzan Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Also called Kwanzan and Sekiyama. All names mean Gateway to the 
Mountain. Probably the most popular and best known double. Flowers 
very large, up to 2 inches in diameter with about 30 large petals; deep 
rosy pink. 
Kuramayama Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
A beautiful double late flowering Cherry. Its flowers open flat and wide 
and are quite full. The flower petals are ruffled and frilled and of a 
beautiful shade of pink with delicate carmine edges. The center of the 
blossoms is flesh-pink. 
Mt. Fuji Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
A lovely variety highly valued by all who love flowering Cherries. Its 
double, snowy white flowers are very large and heavy, produced in great 
abundance. Being the only snow-white, rose-flowering Cherry in culti- 
vation in this country, it is very popular. The Arnold Arboretum Bulle- 
tin often mentions it because of its beauty and hardiness. 
Paul Wohlert Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Semi-double, fragrant flowers. The pink petals are boldly edged with 
rosy red. Outstanding and effective. It is a profusely blooming kind. 
One of the earliest of the large “‘Hyacinth’’ flowering varieties. 
Shirofugen Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
(Victory.) Color effect very unusual. When first open the large fiow- 
ers 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 ieaves deepest bronzy purple. 

Cotoneaster 
All the species of Cotoneaster will thrive either in shade or full sun, 
and are very suitable for growing under trees, “clothing” north or 
other walls, and for covering wet, dry, or shady banks, etc. 
The outstanding characteristics of this genus are the beautiful, con- 
spicuous clusters of berries, ranging in color from brilliant orange- 
scarlet, through varying shades of red to black, all preceded by a 
profusion of white or pinky white flowers wreathing the branchlets, 
and also in many species the rich autumnal coloring of their foliage. 
For hedges they are becoming more and more popular, Multiflora 
being especially well adapted for that purpose. The under-mentioned 
list contains most of the best recent introductions from China, to which 
country they are native. 
Apiculata (Cranberry Cotoneaster) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A beautiful hardy dwarf Cotoneaster from Western China. This little 
known variety grows about four feet high with arching branches 
weighted down during autumn with masses of bright crimson sub-globose 
fruits. The foliage is shiny green and beautiful through the year. Per- 
fectly hardy. 
Divaricata Each 1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
From Central and Western China. 5 to 6 feet high, of graceful spread- 
ing habit; small green polished leaves and red egg-shaped fruits; few 
shrubs can equal its glorious scarlet autumn tints. 
Floribunda Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Grows into a beautifully shaped round bush. Branches slightly arching 
and heavily covered with handsome blue-green foliage. It flowers as 
freely as the English Hawthorn and in fall is covered with thousands 
of brilliant small red berries.

Halus.-- Chinese lowering Grabs 
Two groups of flowering trees, the Cherries and the Crabs, stand 
far above all others in daintiness and grace. The Japanese Cherries 
are well advertised by the spectacular planting in Washington, D. C.., 
but the even lovelier Crab Apples have never received justice at the 
hands of American planters. Crabs are extremely hardy and will thrive 
in positions 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, scarlet and crimson. No other flowering trees equal the flow- 
ering Crabs in profusion of bloom, and amongst 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. 
Arnoldiana Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Arnold's Crab was originated in the Arnold Arboretum at Boston, and 
was evidently a seedling from some of the many beautiful varieties 
which are planted there. The semi-double flowers are pink, turning 
white after a few days, and droop gracefully in long-stalked clusters. 
In the autumn the tree is adorned with pendulous clusters of waxy yel- 
low fruits about the size of a cherry. Its habit is compact and it is 
seldom more than 10 to 12 feet high. 
Aldenhamensis Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A beautiful brilliant kind with rich purple-red foliage. The flowers are 
semi-double red with purple glow. When in bloom it is a compellingly 
beautiful plant. Ultimate height 20 feet. 
Purpurea Lemoinei Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
The bronze-red leaves make an excellent background for huge masses 
of deep crimson flowers which are followed by small red fruits. This 
worthy hybrid is considered the best red flowering Crab. It received 
an Award of Merit at the Royal Horticultural Society of London. 
Toensis plena Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Bechtel’s Crab is a double form of the Wild Crab Apple of the Missis- 
sippi Valley. The original plant was discovered near Staunton, Illinois, 
in 1850, and was brought into cultivation about forty years later by 
aman named Bechtel. It is a robust, round-headed tree with double, 
pale pink flowers about 2 inches across, exactly like little Roses. They 
have a delicate violet scent. 


Floribunda Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Is ‘“the’’ favorite. It is of spreading growth and prolific flowering. 
The blossoms are a light pink blending into a white, followed by an 
abundance of yellowish green fruit relished by the birds. The flower 
buds are very beautiful, displaying a brilliant pink before bursting 
into early bloom. It can be grown as a tree, but it is best as a bush 
—a handsome and very attractive variety. As pink is probably the 
favorite color in the garden, Floribunda has always enjoyed great 
popularity. 
Floribunda atropurpurea Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
In habit it exactly resembles Floribunda, but it is much more bril- 
liant than that variety. The flowers are red and when this tree is 
in bloom it will stop every passer-by. The bronzy red foliage also 
contributes mightily to its showiness and beauty. In the autumn 
when the thousands of small apples turn red you again behold a 
lovely sight. It is a strong grower and will bloom profusely on small 
plants. In fact, the flowers are so profuse they completely hide all 
twigs and branches. 

Pink Weeper Crab Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
This is an unusually handsome Weeping Flowering Crab. The main stem 
is upright. The branches are weeping and droop onto the ground. The 
effect is like a fountain and when in bloom in spring, a picture not 
easily forgotten. Makes a perfect small specimen tree for the lawn. 
The flowers are crimson-purple when open; the buds blood-red. A beau- 
tiful flowering, small, weeping tree. Its attractiveness is prolonged by 
its fruit until late in the fall. Ultimate height 12 to 15 feet. We offer 
nicely shaped trees about 4 to 5 feet. 
Scheideckeri Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
The flowers of Scheidecker’s Crab are double, bright pink, last a long 
time, and the fruit, which is produced in great profusion, is waxy yellow. 
The tree has a regular pyramidal habit, about 15 feet high. Best and 
easiest to flower. 
Theifera Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
One of the favorites of connoisseurs is the Tea Crab, a stiff, erect plant 
15 feet or more high, and in spring every limb, branch, twig and 
branchlet is buried in a cloud of rose-pink blos i 
Ghee p soms which slowly change
