FLOWERING ALMONDS, CHERRIES, PLUMS AND PEACHES 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs called variously: Flowering Plums, 
Flowering Cherries, Flowering Almonds and Flowering Peaches. They are so well known that they 
do not need any introduction. They are very hardy. 
Flo wering Gharrics 
Very beautiful early spring-lowering 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 u pright 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 
In our opinion this is one of the most beautiful trees. It is a pink flow- 
ering 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. Akebono belongs 
in the same class as those around the tidal basin in Washington, D. C. 
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 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. 
James H. Veitch (Fugenzo) Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Rather late flowering but considered one of the finest garden varieties, 
Nice, shapely smali tree loaded in spring with deep rose-pink blooms. 
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, with about 30 large petals; deep rosy pink. 
Kuramayama Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A beautiful double late flowering Cherry. Flowers open flat and wide and 
are quite full. Petals are ruffled and frilled and of a beautiful shade of 
pink with delicate carmine edges, and center of 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. 
Naden Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A great garden favorite. Makes a tremendous show when trees are 
literally smothered in apple-blossom-pink, semi-double flowers arranged 
in short-stem clusters. Nice, small lawn tree. 
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. 
SUBHIRTELLA - Autumn Flowering 
A delightfully graceful variety, makes a small tree about 12 ft. high 
which is loaded with small pink flowers in spring and again in the 
autumn. Flowering branches are somewhat pendulant creating a most 
artistic effect. One of the choice kinds. Is wonderful if grown as a 
tall shrub. Each $5.09, Three $14.00 
WEEPING CHERRIES 
Single Pink Weeping Cherry Each $7.00, Three $18.00 
Weeping heads grafted on straight trunks about 6 feet tall. Flowers 
small, single, pale pink. 
lowering Plums 
Pissardi rosea (Purple-Leaved Plum “Special Selection’’) 
Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
The deep bronzy purple foliage of this small tree is its great attraction; 
however, the thousands of pink, single flowers in spring are not to be 
overlooked. Most ‘‘purple’’ leaved trees lose much of their color through- 
out the summer, but this is not the case with this special selection of 
ours recently imported from England. Its foliage is of the deepest shade 
of purplish red imaginable, almost black. It makes a fine contrast plant 
and helps give variety and color in the garden, easily grown and ideal 
for the small yard or a special point of interest. Ultimate height about 
10 feet. Occasional pruning will keep it in shape desired. 
\ Veitch’s Double Pink Flowering Plum 
Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This small tree grows about 15 feet tall. In early spring it is covered 
with large clusters of double pink blossoms like those of the double 
flowering Cherry. In fact it is often mistaken for a flowering Cherry. 
It is very hardy and should be used in place of flowering Peaches or 
Cherries in those localities where the latter are not hardy. In addi- 
tion to the delighful display of double pink flowers you will enjoy 
the bronze-colored foliage as well as the delicious, small, sweet Plums 
which ripen in early autumn. Here is a small tree equally charming 
for the small garden or as a specimen on the large lawn. It is the 
first tree to bloom along with the Forsythia. 
Each $2.25, Three $6.25. Doz. $22.50 
Triloba 
(Flowering Plum.) The flowering Plum blooms early in May before the 
leaves come out. The delightful double, quilled, bright pink flowers 
stud every twig and branchlet so heavily no wood is visible. Very hand- 
some and should not be left out of any garden. Here again we offer 
plants growing on their own roots because they are much more satis- 
factory. Ultimate height about 8 feet.

Ao werueg Poaches 
The general habit of all is much the same, the main difference being 
in color of flowers and time of blooming. They should be very severely 
pruned every year as soon as they have finished blooming and before 
growth starts. Cutting them for decoration accomplishes the same pur- 
pose and is highly beneficial but should be completed as soon as flowers 
are gone. All growth of the previous season should be cut back to about 
8 inches. Don’t touch them in the fall as that is simply cutting off 
potential flowers. 
Spring planting only is recommended except in localities where tem- 
peratures do not go below 10 degrees of frost. 
Cardinal Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Profusely laden with rich colored madder-rose or Tyrian rose double 
blooms which have a rich crimson sheen. A brilliant and beautiful 
effect is created. A thrill you will long remember. A rare plant for 
your gorden, 
Iceberg Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A magnificent pure double white Peach. Spotlessly white flowers in 
great quantities give an effect not often seen in flowers. A perfect 
beauty. 
Pink: Charming Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Delightful and charming is what visitors tell us of this variety. 
Lovely double rose-pink blossoms grow in super-abundance, making 
this small tree look like a huge bouquet. 
WEEPING PEACHES 
Like other weeping trees of this nature, these are grown on erect stems 
about 4 or 5 feet high. The branches from that height droop sharply, giv- 
ing a very artistic appearance. 
Double Red Weeping Each $2.50, Three. $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Color is rich brilliant red, and entirely distinct from the erect variety 
Cardinal. 
Double White Weeping Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Flowers are exactly like small white miniature Roses, and moderately 
double, snowing the yellow stamens. The long sprays of handsome flow- 
ers give a delightful effect.
