HANDSOME ORNAMENTAL CRABS. 



In the current bulletin of the Ar- 

 nold Arboretum Prof. Sargent dis- 

 cusses some of the ornamental crab- 

 apples not mentioned in Horticulture 

 last week. 



Mains cerasifera. This is an early 

 flowering Crabapple and is believed to 

 be a hybrid between M. baccata and M. 

 prwnifoUa. Planted In good soil and 

 allowed sufficient room for develop- 

 ment it will grow into a large shapely 

 tree with a broad, round-topped, irreg- 

 ular head of spreading often drooping 

 branches. The flowers are fragrant 

 and larger than those of the other 

 Asiatic Crabapples, with pure white or 

 occasionally greenish petals; and the 

 fruit, which varies in size on different 

 plants, is globose and dull red. 



Malus micromalus, which is also an 

 early flowering plant, is one of the 

 least known of the Crabapples. It was 

 first sent to Europe from Japan by Von 

 Siebold in 1856 under the name of 

 "Kaido," a name which in Japan be- 

 longs to Mains Halliana. In Japan 

 this tree is rare and known only in 

 gardens, and by Japanese botanists is 

 believed to have been introduced into 

 their country from China and to be a 

 hybrid possibly of M. baccata with M. 

 spectabilis. The habit of this plant is 

 more pyramidal than that of other 

 Crabapples and this habit makes the 

 plants conspicuous in the collection. 

 The largest plants are covered this 

 year with their small, pale pink, deli- 

 cate flowers which will be followed by 

 light yellow fruit, often rose color on 

 one cheek. A plant of Mains microma- 

 lus first came to the Arboretum from 

 the Paris Museum in 1888 and the 

 plants now growing here are descend- 

 ants of that plant. It is still one of 

 the rarest of the Asiatic Crabapples in 

 western gardens. 



Malus Halliana, with its formParfc- 

 manii whicli has double flowers, is per- 

 haps the most distinct of all Crab- 

 apples in the color of its rose-red 

 flowers. It is a shapely small tree, 

 with erect and spreading stems form- 

 ing a narrow vase-like head, and dark 

 green leaves. The globose reddish 

 fruit is not larger than a small pea. 

 The Parkman Crab was among the 

 first Japanese trees to reach this coun- 

 try direct, having been sent by Dr. 

 George R. Hall in 1862 to Boston 

 where it was first planted in Mr. 

 Francis Parkman's garden on the 

 shores of Jamaica Pond. This Crab- 

 apple is a favorite in Japanese gardens 

 where it is known as "Kaido," but has 

 not been found in a wild state. What- 

 ever its origin the Parkman Crab is 

 one of the most distinct and beautiful
