Japanese Flowering Cherry

AMONG the flowering trees, the Japanese Roseflowering Cherry
takes the lead, possibly because of the popular appeal of the
well advertised “Cherry Season” of Japan, when tourists by
thousands visit Japan.

The Japanese Cherry trees vary a great deal in form and, there-
fore, can be adapted to many various uses in decorating the garden.
One type resembles the elm in its vase form, beginning as a young
tree with the effect of a rather narrow column made up of many
branches, but later, when the top gets heavier with age, especially
during the blooming period, the top of the vase widens and the
whole forms a splendid floral piece. Most of the sorts have wide-
spreading branches, but AMANOGAWA, “The Milky Way,” is a
slender column and does not greatly broaden with age.

Nearly all the Japanese Cherries are tinted pink. An exceptional
variety or two are pure white; FUJIZAN, or MT. FUJI, being
one of the white and the only pure white Japanese Cherry I know.
Most sorts are tinted blush or pink; a few are red or old rose; a few
are fragrant, among them MIKURUMA GAESHI and AMAN-
OGAWA.

The Cherry trees are admired by the Japanese exceedingly, — from
the time the first buds and flowers of the single earliest BENI-
HIGAN blooms in March among the snows, followed by the deeper
colored SHIDARE HIGAN, or WEEPING CHERRY, right
through the season of the Roseflowering Cherry until the windy day
that brings down the petals, carpeting the lawns and walks in pink.
This pink “snow” has inspired more than one Japanese poet and
has also thrilled me, though I regret to see the end of the season.

In America, the display in Washington, D. C., is notable. The
collection there was presented to our nation during President Taft’s
administration by the City of Tokio and planted along the River
Drive near the Basin, where it is visited by every resident of
Washington at least once during the “Cherry Season.” Many
parks, especially the newer ones in the small cities, are featuring the
Japanese Cherries, possibly because the management believes atten-
tion will be drawn to the project and more funds become available
when something with a news value is planted. I am told that the
plan has worked well. In one city the Rotary Club took the matter
in hand and raised the money as the park funds were low.

In 1917 I placed a planting of Japanese Cherry as street trees on
our road front, Montgomery Ave., on “the Main Line” (a Phila-
delphia suburban district). During the “Cherry Season” the
motor cars of plant lovers seriously hinder traffic on this sixty-six-
feet-wide road, incidentally bringing us lots of new friends.

Japanese Roseflowering Cherries

GOOD varieties, from an American viewpoint, are the fol-
lowing:

AMANOGAWA. A new sort in America but a well established
old time sort in Japan. The name, translated literally, means
“Heaven’s River” or “Milky Way.” The branches are upright
and the habit is columnar — on the order of the Lombardy poplar.
While the flowers of nearly all the other sorts are carried on long
flower stems that droop, the semi-double pink flowers of AMAN-
OGAWA are held upright on rather short stocky stems. The
flowers exhale a delightful, delicate fragrance and lend a charming
effect to the tree as they entirely cover every branch. On account
of the columnar build of this variety, it takes up little room and
gives but little shade, therefore fitting itself particularly well to
small gardens and formal plantings and is also effective in the shrub
border, giving it an accent difficult to get otherwise.

NADEN, double pink, is one of the loveliest sorts and with
KOFUGEN, double, old rose or red, has really made our Nurseries
famous locally, being the sort I chose for our road front planting.

The color of NADEN is a lovely pink, somewhat deeper colored
than AMANOGAWA. The flowers are large and heavy, well filled,
double and produced in great abundance. They last about two
weeks, turning a deeper tint when fully matured and generally come
down in a pink cloud with an early May shower.

FUJIZAN ZAKURA (MT. FUJI) is of a type similar to the
above, only somewhat longer petaled and not as full, but the snowy
white flowers are very large and heavy, produced in great abundance
and set this tree apart from the rest as the only snow-white form
of the Roseflowering Cherry in cultivation. This is a lovely variety
and highly valued here and in Japan. The Japanese named this
tree for their sacred mountain.

UKON ZAKURA belongs also to the above class. The flowers
are somewhat smaller than KOFUGEN, NADEN, ROSEA, etc.
The color is yellow with a slight greenish tint and valued very
highly by the Japanese. It is exceedingly rare and the color is

very unusual. For that reason it has a place in every collection.

SEKIZAN: Sekizan, Kansan or Kwansan. This variety is
known in Japan under all three names, — in Washington, D. C.,
it is called Kwansan. We use the first name. It is also one
of the long-
stemmed types,
approximately
the same size
and color as

color is an old
rose like the

bushy form, that is, having
branches from the ground up.
It seems to be a very popular
sort with our cherry lovers.

SHIROFUGEN ZAKURA
also resembles the above. One
difference is that while most of
the above varieties have crim-
son-tipped buds, the buds of this

variety are lighter and the
bloom the lightest colored of the
pink-tinted sorts. In my judg-
ment it is not quite as good as
the other pink-tinted varieties.

Two other good Japanese
Roseflowering Cherries are
known to us as “ROSEA,”
similar in carriage and form of

Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs

bloom to the
three first named
sorts. One of
these varieties
we received
from Holland,
therefore we
have called it
“ROSEA HOL-
LAND.” It
differs from
“ROSEA” in
habit of growth,
being as a young

tree cylindrical in form, turning to vase shape with age. ROSEA,
in common with NADEN, KOFUGEN and SHIROFUGEN, is
spreading, the colors of both pale pink, ageing to rose.

OJOCHIN ZAKURA. The name translated means “paper
lantern,” or, as we would say, “Chinese lantern.” The flowers are
very large, semi-double and pink tinted. The tree is very vigorous,
upright growing, and not nearly as spreading as the varieties men-
tioned above, although it has a greater spread than ROSEA

Possibly the loveliest form of the Roseflowering Cherry is what
we call the short-stemmed type, with flowers on short stems, giving
the arrangement of flowers on the branch somewhat of a bottle-
brush effect. The most delicate colors are in this class. None are
as full or double as the previously named sorts, but for that reason
the more effective, and, in the opinion of some, the coming sorts.
In this class I may mention the lovely HOSOKAWA-BENI and
MIKURUMA GAESHI, both fragrant, the delicate RUTH
WOHLERT of exquisite color and form. PAUL WOHLERT is a
dwarf form, red or deep pink, early.

MI'KURUMA'GAESHI ZAKURA is considered among the
Japanese as one of the loveliest of all the Flowering Cherries. The
name translated implies that you will turn around and look back
again at this variety when you leave the tree. It is double-flower-
ing, light pink, slightly fragrant and exceedingly lovely on account

9

The Garden Nurseries — N arh e rth , Pa.

of both the delicate coloring and the unusual attractive distribution
of the flowers over the tree. This variety, as well as all the follow-
ing, blooms earlier than the heavier flowered sorts named above.
The shape of the tree is decidedly spreading. The branches are
long and without many prominent sideshoots.

HOSOKAWA-BENI ZAKURA is more upright than the fore-
going and of a similar color. The branches of this tree have longer
sideshoots and will grow in a more dense formation. It doesn’t
show as great a tendency to spread. The flowers are delicate
and fragrant.

RUTH WOHLERT is of an exquisite color and form, of a type
similar to the above; somewhat more vigorous than either. It is a
new type; color blush pink; double.

PAUL WOHLERT is a dwarf type, the flowers semi-double, the
color red or deep pink and very early, following the WEEPING
SHIDARE HIGAN. Under ordinary conditions this sort should
be considered fully grown at ten feet but we have trees that appear
to have stopped growing at eight feet. It is fairly spreading. A
ten-foot tree could have a spread of at least eight feet.

JEANNE WOHLERT, “the baby of the family,” decidedly

the most dwarfish of all the
Japanese Flowering Cherries
I know, showing a tendency
to branch directly from the
ground. The semi-double,
delicately tinted, light pink
flowers are fragrant and pro-
duced very freely on short
stems. The three old trees
we own, have not exceeded
six feet in height, two of
them being only four feet
high, but quite bushy. It
is an exceedingly attractive
sort and very rare. OJO-
CHIN, KOFUGEN and
NADEN, of approximately

10

the same age, are
now over twenty
feet high.

The Japanese
Weeping Cherry
variety, SHI-
DARE HIGAN
ZAKURA, is a
worthy street tree,
as it can be made
to grow very fast
by a liberal appli-
cation of well-rot-
ted cow manure.

Nothing surpasses
this tree in loveli-
ness during its pe-
riod of bloom, flow-
ering as it does in
the vicinity of
Philadelphia in
April and being
covered with
thousands of rose
pink single flowers
before the least
sign of foliage is visible. The weather then being cool, it has a long
season. SHIDARE HIGAN is darker in color, or should I say is
blessed with more color than the ordinary Weeping Cherry and is
admired more than any other flowering tree because it displays the
first pink color of the year, nothing but yellow having been seen up
to the advent of SHIDARE HIGAN’S blooming time.

The Weeping Cherry, judging from the demand for this tree, is
absolutely the finest and most valuable lawn tree in the opinion of
our customers. While I do not exactly agree with them in this
particular, I can only state that the demand for Weeping Cherry
is almost_ equal to the combined demand for all the other varieties.

Of course, I realize this is simply because it blooms so early and the
bright-colored flowers are an inspiration to a garden lover, who then
promptly decides that he must have one of them. When the
Weeping Cherry blooms, it blooms alone and has no competition.

The BENI HIGAN blooms in early April among the snows and is
known as the Spring Cherry. Small, light pink flowers, single, are
produced in multitudes, absolutely covering the tree; indeed a
lovely object after the winter’s snow and frost. Under good condi-
tions this tree will reach a size of twelve feet high and wide, generally
it is smaller and is strictly a dwarf tree. No collection or garden
complete without it. The weeping cherry sprang from this upright
variety.

As to cultural directions for Japanese Flowering Cherry: A well-
drained soil is essential, the texture of minor importance, but all of
the cherries enjoy a fertile soil. A clay subsoil on low land is not

the best place, yet they will live there, keep their roots close to the
surface and not get very large for this reason, as surface soil over
clay bottom soon gets bone dry and saturated wet in turn. A mulch
is valuable for three years or more. Manure should be used with
care when planting. It is best used when mixed thoroughly through-
out all the soil dug out of the hole, well-rotted manure only, one
bucketful to a wheelbarrow load of soil, or \x/i lb. bone, coarse, to
a barrowful of soil. Firm or pack soil well with a rammer.

With reference to hardiness: The tree withstands the coldest
weather of New England and the Allegheny Mountains. I remem-
ber reading in my “morning daily,” that Alderman Gorsuch of
Roaring Springs reported he had found a Cherry tree in a cemetery
near Altoona, Pa., that bore roses every year in May and that he

14

Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs

had carried some of the roses to Altoona to prove his statement.
The trees are quite hardy in Ohio, Illinois, New England, New York,
the Carolinas, Georgia, and northward. I do not know now any
state where the Japanese Cherries have failed. A neighbor is
experimenting with these trees in Florida, having planted a carload
for a tryout. The Pacific Coast climate is particularly adapted,
with the exception of Southern California. The tree will thrive
anywhere, almost, though exceptions are very poor soil, where ero-
sion or the graders have removed the plant food with the top soil;
swampy soil is not fitted; a stiff yellow or blue clay subsoil, with a
few inches of top soil, will hardly do.

Pruning. Thinning out does not give you more flowers and
should be entirely avoided and pruning is desirable only if a branch
or two has spread too far for your space. Never thin out the
branches, — the more twigs and branches, the more flowers you
get.

Staking is advisable until you get your central lead or branch as
high as you want it. Until then, the sideshoots should be kept
within bounds and the central main branch or lead encouraged, but,
if you have room, absolutely no pruning is needed nor wanted.

Labels should be tied to sideshoots, never to main branches or
trunk, as the tree may be ruined in one year by tight label wires.

MALUS
SPECTABILIS
The flower when
in bud is coral red,
opening to a full-
blown flower of a gorgeous
soft pink. The flowers are
very large and come in such
abundance as to envelop all
the branches with the bright
pink brilliant blooms that are
double and about the size of a
50c piece. Usual height
about 8-10 ft., finally larger.

Malus Scheideckeri is sim-
ilar in appearance, smaller
flowers and freer blooming.

HE Chinese
Flowering
Crab is not
as well known to
fame as the Cher-
but a few of
them are decidedly
more gorgeous.
MALUS ATRO-
SANGUINEA, for
instance, is one of
the most brilliant
subjects in our gar-
den. The small
flowers follow SHI-
DARE HIGAN
and are produced
before the foliage.
They come in mul-
titudes, almost ob-
literating the
branches. I can
only say the effect
is that the tree is
clothed in trans-
parent silk gauze,
pink and shimmer-
ing, changing in
color value with
the elevation of the

sun and the position of the observer in relation to the sunlight.
The effect is beautiful on single trees or groups, but comes to its
own particularly when ATROSANGUINEA is used as a hedge
plant. It may be treated almost like privet; that is, one may
shear the outside branches twice in the spring and early summer,
leaving the upright growth alone. As the foliage is held well into

November and is
to the last a splen-
did glossy green,
having apparently
no attraction to in-
sects, it is a rival of
the privet where a
hedge screen is
wanted. A height
of twenty feet is
readily attained
when treated as above. When left
to its own devices, which one can
safely do where there is room
enough, it is a low spreading tree,
as wide as high. In common with
all the crabs it will grow in any soil,
wet or dry, rich or poor, but, of
course, one is rewarded for good cul-
ture by more rapid growth; as every
branch flowers, the more branches the
better, so thinning out is worse than
needless. A one-year-old tree blooms as well for
its size as an older tree. Of course, all shearing

and pruning is done after these flowers have

MALUS ARNOLDIANA is of a similar habit Mdus ioensis, Bechtel’s

variety

and appears to be a cross of FLORIBUNDA or
ATROSAN GUINEA and PARKMANI. Its habit of growth,
glossy foliage and fruit appear to be inherited from one of the first
named and the flowers from PARKMANI. The flowers are in
clusters on three-inch-long stems, red and wirelike; the flowers
pink, single or semi-double and more abundant than found on
PARKMANI. The experts at the Arnold Arboretum place this
sort as Number One in their list of good crabs.

MALUS FLORIBUNDA is an old favorite, of spreading growth,
prolific flowering, as ATROSANGUINEA in all but color, which is
a light pink, fading to white, followed by a lot of yellowish green

17

fruits relished by the birds. It can be grown as well as all the rest
of the Malus as a tree, but is at its best as a bush. As pink is
possibly the favorite color in the garden, FLORIBUNDA has
always enjoyed great popularity.

MALUS TORINGA is a type from Asia. This sort and MALUS
SARGENTI are similar in habit and bloom, flowers produced in
abundance, giving the effect of plum blossoms, almost white,
followed by a great quantity of cherry red fruit that is very showy
and holds out well into the winter.

SARGENTI is a dwarf type and much in demand for small
gardens and rockeries, as well as places where a low growing tree is
indicated by conditions,— by a building under a window or in front
of taller trees in groups. SARGENTI is practically a creeping
form, at least low and spreading.

MALUS SCHEIDECKERI and SPECTABILIS are very
similar, though they can be told apart by the more glossy foliage
of the latter and by the color of the wood. These sorts have double
flowers and upright branches, especially on young trees. The
flower stems are stiff enough to carry the heavy flowers upright and

18

Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs

in a bottle-brush formation on the stem, but the heavy fruit, valu-
able for jelly, hangs down. The SCHEIDECKERI is a sort that
flowers well as a young tree of from two to three years old, but
SPECTABILIS cannot be counted upon to produce much bloom
before it is ten years old. The flowers are twice as large and more
valuable for this reason only.

PARKMANI is a lovely slow-growing dwarf tree, long lance-
olate foliage, double pink flowers on drooping red stems, not
desirable for general planting where quick effects are wanted.
Worthwhile in a collection, but it does not to me appear to have
any landscape value, while all the foregoing are very valuable
features in the landscape as they all show striking character that
commands attention. PARKMANI has great merit and is used a
great deal on account of its delicate beauty.

NIEDSWETZKYANA is an apple with purple fruit and flowers.
For that matter the leaves, stems, sap, bark, buds and all, are red
or purple, the apples being red throughout and good to eat. I am
not convinced that this tree is wanted on a small place as it has to

reach an age of ten years or more before flowers are produced
abundantly. It is interesting and entitled to a place in all collec-
tions.

Of the American crabs, IOENSIS and IOENSIS BECHTELI
are the best and of about equal value for landscape effect. The
type leads, as it is more vigorous. BECHTELI is double flowering,
the buds are globular on both sorts. Possibly the double flowers of
BECHTELI are more enduring, as they do not produce fruit. The
flowers are fragrant and a very lovely pink, the loveliest pink of all
the flowering trees, but for landscape effects the double form is not
valuable, as the flowers are pretty well hidden in the foliage, while
practically all the other sorts display the bloom on bare stems.
IOENSIS is more vigorous than the improved form.

MALUS CORONARIUS, another American fragrant sort, is not
so valuable, as it has to be quite old and large before one can expect
flowers and I am not sure that it is any better than most of the fruit-
ing apple trees for show and its fruit is not good to eat.

MALUS BACCATA, a Chinese variety, is somewhat similar in
habit to MALUS CORONARIA, but this sort will show con-
siderable bloom long before CORONARIA has opened its first
bud. A young tree of BACCATA will bloom freely, but not as
early in life as many of the other varieties. SCHEIDECKERI,
ATROSANGUINEA, FLORIBUNDA, PARKMANI, and a few
others, will bloom freely when they are only twelve inches high, — -
not so BACCATA. It has red buds; white fragrant flowers and
good foliage. The fruit is beautifully colored, very effective on
the tree and good for jelly. The fruit is produced in great quanti-
ties, therefore very effective when ripe and colored.

MALUS ATROSANGUINEA, “MING SHING,” is a some-
what less conspicuous purple in summer, but the young shoots
are more strikingly brilliant than any of the rest of the purple leaved
sorts. During the summer when the foliage has ripened, only a
slight trace of purple can be found in the foliage. Very free flower-
ing— even young trees two years bear flowers freely.

20

Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs.

MALUS ELEYI is another distinct purple sort, particularly
charming in early summer when the display of red foliage gives an
accent in the planting — even late in October does it show this
lovely color scheme- — far better than the Japanese Red Maples,
for they are then only a rusty brown. The sap is purple too.
Flowers deep pink or red — single; vigorous grower.

MALUS FLORIBUNDA “PEACHBLOW,” a new sort, of
vigorous growth, dark green foliage, lovely pink single flowers of
good size and bright color — introduced this year for the first time.

MALUS FLORIBUNDA PURPUREA is one of the newer sorts.
In habit it resembles the type. The purple foliage, single purple
flowers, and fruit makes it a distinct departure from the ordinary.
The flowers and fruits are carried on long pendulous stems and are
produced in great abundance on mature trees. Young trees are not
as prolific as Floribunda, Atrosanguinea and Scheideckeri. Purple
bark and sap. Strong grower.

MALUS FLORIBUNDA “SNOWBANK” is new and offered
now for the first time. Light green foliage, snow white, single
flowers — a real gem where white is wanted. Valuable as a foil to
the darker sorts.

The many varieties mentioned in this booklet have a con-
fusing tendency. If you wish , you may simply state the
size of the space you want to plant and the location , and I
will suggest the varieties that will give you best satisfaction
and sequence of bloom.

charming, as it

PERSICA,
Persian Double
Flowering
Peach. To
those who have
had the first
view of a well-
developed tree
of this kind in
full bloom, it appears
that nothing more
beautiful could pos-
sibly be found, and the most peculiar
thing, from our point of view, is that,
no matter what sort of color our client
has first discovered, it seems that nothing
short of that very particular shade will
satisfy him. The fact is that all of these
colors are equally beautiful, but the person
who has seen only one of them cannot believe
it possible that anything could surpass the one
first discovered, and, therefore, they will take
no chance with anything different. The rose-
like flowers cover practically every twig and
branch of the tree, and range in color from purest
snow white to soft pink, rose and red. The
White Double Flowering Peach is particularly
is possibly the purest white seen in any flower.

Persica comes in three colors, white, pink and crimson.

'The Double Flowering Plum

PRUNUS TRILOBA is a miniature “Persica” or Flowering
Peach, smaller in growth and in bloom. The foliage is quite differ-
ent, the flowers not as gorgeous, but beautiful, very double and a
lovely pink, blooming slightly in advance of Persica.

PRUNUS TOMENTOSA, a lovely dwarf, single white flowering

ture are very showy.

Trouble Flowering Almond

AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS ALBA and ROSEA resemble the
Flowering Peach and Plum and are the smallest of the group, fitting
in especially for planting in mixed borders or in front of shrubbery.
Very graceful and lovely, probably too well known to mention here.
Comes in white and pink.

Japanese Evergreen Azaleas

AZALEA HINODEGIRI. The name translated means “Sun-
rise Azalea,” as the ruddy glow of this plant in full bloom reminds
the Japanese of the Rising Sun. The plants, leaves and all, are
literally smothered in the wealth of bloom and this variety is easily
the most
popular aza-
lea in Amer-
ica. Prob-
ably one half
million are
sold each
year, many
of these at
Easter, as
the plant can
be forced for that occasion.

After flowering they may
be planted outdoors. The
plants we offer are never forced
and have always been out-
doors in our Nurseries. The leaves
persist all winter but turn a copper
color in the Fall, changing into green
with the advent of warm weather. They
are hardy in all the Atlantic States.

BERBERIS THUNBERGI ATROSANGUINEA
Purple or Red Leaved Barberry

This variety of barberry is more showy than the Red-leaf .Japa-
nese Maple as it holds the color of red throughout the season and
does not turn green as the Maples do. The early Spring growth is
bright red or scarlet. As the season advances the color changes to
a deep red. Very showy planted in a flower garden or along a walk.
Something entirely new.

Afterglow (Sturtevant 1918) 8.6 — Flowers of loose Pallida form.
Soft grey-lavender shading to buff with rich yellow at the haft.
Well branched and of strong growth. 75 cents each.

and style arms yellow. Of exceptional merit and superior to
many varieties of a similar color. 32.00 each.

substance. The standards and falls delicately margined pale blue.
Probably the best of the frilled varieties. 32.00 each.

Ann Page (Newlands 1919) 8.4 — Lovely pale lavender-blue self with
large flowers of splendid shape. F. long, heavily pencilled with
brown at haft. Stem stout and erect. One of Sir A. Hort’s

own. S. of Dauphin’s blue or light bluish-violet, large, erectly
held, well developed and slightly veined. F. of exceptional
substance expanding at the base to a deep rich indigo-purple
velvet. Beard orange, very pronounced. $10. 00 each.

ruffled, a distinct shade of rosy red. Large flowers but not of a
strong growth. Give a dry location. $2.50 each.
