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. 
G owering (Araadts 
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. All Cherry trees 
offered are from 3 to 5 feet tall, depending on the nature of the variety. 
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. 
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 ciusters. 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. 
lo wering Plums 
Pissardi rosea (Purple-Leaved Plum “Special Selection”) 
About 4 to 5 feet tall. Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
The deep bronzy foliage of this small tree is its great attraction; how- 
ever, the thousands of pink. single flowers in spring are not to be over- 
looked. Most ‘‘purple’’ leaved trees lose much of their color throughout 
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 . 
About 4 to 5 feet tall. 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 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 addition to the de- 
lightful 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. 
Triloba Each $2.25, Three $6.25. Doz. $22.50 
(Flowering Plum.) Blooms early in May before the leaves come out. 
Delightful double, quilled, bright pink flowers stud every twig and 
branchlet so heavily no wood is visible. Very handsome and should not 
‘be left out of any garden. Here again we offer plants growing on their 
-own roots because they are much more satisfactory. Ultimate height 
about 8 feet. We send flowering plants about 2 to 3 feet tall.

Flo wering Proaches 
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 falh 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. All flowering Peach trees 
offered are from 3 to 5 feet tall, depending on the variety. 
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 garden. 
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, snewing the yellow stamens. The long sprays of handsome flow- 
ers give a delightful effect.
