S-J CALENDAR OF FLOWERING 



Pyrus baccata 



(Si he ri (in Cral>) wliether grown in a group, or 

 singly, where its graceful spreading shape can be seen 

 to full advantage, always stands out as one of the most 

 beautiful crabs in existence. Indeed, at the end of 

 April and early in May, when it is covered with white 

 flowers, no tree can surpass it; while again in Autumn 

 its fruits are a blaze of brilliant red. Where it has a 

 good depth of fairly rich loam, it \vill attain a height of 

 20 ft., provided the subsoil is well drained. It does best 

 when budded or grafted on to the Apple or Pear. 



Pyrus Eotryapium 



Syn. for Amelanchier canadensis, q.v 



us coronana 



Pyr 



(American Sweet-scented Crab) used to be grown 

 much more than it is now ; but it is well worth plant- 

 ing, as it grows pretty rapidly into a picturesque tree 

 about 30 ft. high, with a loose head that is quite lovely 

 in May, when its large single pale pink flowers, de- 

 liciously scented like violets, are in full blossom. For 

 soil, &c., v. F. baccata.
