THE QUEEN OF SHRUBS 
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.

Double Flowering Cherry, Kanzan Very beautiful early spring-flowering small trees, seldom growing 
8 over 25 feet tall. From early to late May they are loaded with single or 
; a, . 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 $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
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 is a pink flowering type of the famous Yoshino Cherry so widely planted 
in Tokyo. There are said to be over 10,000 trees of it in that city. 
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. Very early; the first true Japanese Cherry 
to bloom. 
Amanogawa Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
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 $4.00, Three $11.00 
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 $4.00, Three $11.00 
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 $4.00, Three $11.00 
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. 
Shirofugen Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
(Victory.) Color effect very unusual. When first open the large flow- 
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 leaves deepest bronzy purple. 
WEEPING CHERRIES 
Single Pink Weeping Cherry Each $6.00, Three $16.00 
Weeping heads grafted on straight trunks about 6 feet tall. Flowers 
small, single, pale pink.
