Bridge and cherry blossom over the River Uji—a corner 
of old Japan preserved today 
of Yama-zakura are obtainable at Yoshinoyama and 
other places where they are largely grown and _ culti- 
vated. Mountain cherries are generally very strong 
and attain a large size, surviving for many centuries. 
Sato-zakura, or domestic cherries, are ideal garden 
plants. From the horticultural point of view it is 
advisable to plant in a garden a mixture of different 
varieties of domestic cherries such as Shirotae, Shogetsu 
and Ojochin (all bearing snow-white flowers), Chosha- 
hizakura with pretty crimson flowers and deep red 
young leaves; Ichiyo, Kwanzan and Fugenzo, all bearing 
beautiful double flowers; together with some kinds of 
fragrant cherries such as Jonioi, Takinioi and Surugadai- 
nioi. Among the cherry trees which were presented by 
the Tokyo Municipality to Washington, D.C., of the 
United States, in 1912, was a choice variety of those 
domestic cherries.
