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. 
Kwanzan. Double, rose-pink. Handsomest of all 
the double flowering cherries. Blooms just after the 
middle of April (depending somewhat upon loeality.) 
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: 
aiso 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. 
Mount Fuji—Pure white ; remains attractive ; calyx 
turning reddish with age. A bushy, small tree, hardy, 
extremely floriferous. 
Naden—One of the most handsome types. Semi-
