Kwanian Japanese
Flowering Cherry
This is a magnificent pink
flowering cherry. Grown on a
6 foot stalk it reaches a
height of 22 to 25 feet. The
upward branching limbs,
sweeping outward and down
ward, when loaded and smoth
ered in soft pink blossoms, is
superb.
The summer leaves are a
nice green, which in autumn
change to brilliant crimson
and sunset shades. The linv
ited height and spread of this
tree, make it both functional
and ornamental for street use
and the low type of home
symmetry.
The Kawnzan cherry will be
used on Berkeley Way, For
tune, Hybiscus, Lenora, Mon
roe, and Edgemont St., plant
ed 40 to 50 feet apart; on
Reddy st. and Eastwood ave.,
(Cul de sac end of Fortune,)
50 to 60 feet apart. Edge
mont is already 3A planted,
due largely to the diligent
efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Murl
Nordstrum and Mrs. Dale
Jefferson.
This tree is grown much in
Belgium, Holland, England
and Ireland. Portland, Ore.,
has some beautiful street
plantings.
Given Consideration
Trees in cities, large cities,
used to be given much con
sideration by man. Years ago
four rows of elms stood along
Broadway in Columbus, Ohio,
but they succumbed to "pro
gress and civilization." High
buildings, automobiles,
crowds of people, polluted air,
desert pavement of walks and
streets, robbed "God's Tem
ples" of their necessities to
live. A blank was left.
For many years the "Char
ter Oak" stood on almost
sacred ground, protected, but
surrounded at a few feet dis
tance, from its pavement
enemy. A Redwood between
here and Portland stands on
its own deeded property.
Many cities, some large
cities, are planting street
trees. Medford is fortunate in
planning for a city of beauty.
The Kwanzan cherry may
be seen in many places about
the valley. Some nice ones
are Southwest of the high
school, near Oakdale ave.;
Hawthorne park, 18 North
Modoc ave., and at the Hanley
place on Ross lane. Pink and
white flowering dogwoods
may be seen on Glen Oak ct.,
32 North Peach st, and else
where about town, and the
redbuds are still prime.
