Back of sheet explains it the exchange of gratitude between First Lady Helen Herron Taft and Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese ambassador who planted the first two of the 3,020 flowering cherry trees gifted to the nation's capital from the city of Tokyo. In exchange for this generous gift, former President William Howard Taft arranged for the United States to send 50 flowering dogwood trees (Cornus florida) to Japan in 1915.
