| | |The recent double-flowered

| | |gardens, and given a fairly
| | |moist soil and sunny
| | |situation, will bloom well.
| | |P. pseudo-cerasus goes
| | |under several names, such
| | |as Cerasus Sieboldi rubra,
| | |C. Watereri, and others. It
| | |is a small tree here, with
| | |stout greyish branches, and
| | |firm broad serrated leaves.
| | |*J. H. Veitch, with
| | |intense deep rose flowers,
| | |is very charming, and
| | |blooms from a fortnight to
| | |three weeks later than the
| | |type. The brownish-tinted
| | |foliage is quite a feature.

*P. pendula |Japan |Deep pink;|A beautiful tree of
(Cerasus pendula | |April and |distinct weeping habit, and
rosea) | |May |raised from seed quite
| | |readily, retaining its true
| | |character. The flowers are
| | |borne profusely, and
