CLASS IV. APPLES FOR ORNAMENT OR PRESERVING. 



The Siberian Crabs are beautiful little fruits, varying in 

 size from one to one and a half inch in diameter. They 

 are much esteemed for preserving, and as an ornamental 

 tree, whether in blossom or loaded with their brilliantly- 

 colored fruit, they merit a place in the smallest garden. 

 In extensive grounds they may be planted in groups, pro- 

 ducing a fine effect.
