The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June 4, 1908. 



I 



fill and handsome, low spreading tree, 

 with beautiful semi-double pink flowers. 

 This variety is often called P. Parkmani, 

 in honor of the late Francis Parkman, of 

 Boston, who had a notable collection of 

 choice shrubs and trees, and much of 

 the stock sent out by nurserymen came 

 from a large specimen on his lawn. 



Pyrus Mains Toringo is a handsome 

 dwarf growing crab-apple, at its best 

 with us this year about May 16. The 

 buds are pink and the flowers in the 

 ordinary type pure white, the trees pre- 

 senting a snowy appearance, with hardly 

 a vestige of the foliage visible. The 

 small fruits, not much bigger than peas, 

 are yellow in color. The foliage turns to 

 yellow and orange colors in fall^ P. 

 Mains Toringo atrosanguinea is a fine 

 blood-red colored form, which presents 

 <a striking contrast to the pure white 

 Bjvariety. Whether as lavra specimens or 

 in shrubberies, where they have ample 

 spread for their branches, the Toringos 

 should be included in every representa- 

 tive collection. We have found that the 

 trees do equally well moved in the fall 

 or in the spring. 



Pyrus coronaria, the ordinary Wild 

 crab-apple, should not be omitted from 

 any collection. It flowers a little later 

 than the other pyrus. Its habit is sym- 

 metrical, forming as it does a compact, 

 round head. The pink or rosy flowers 

 are very fragrant. The yellovrish fruit 

 makes excellent preserves', ffhe double 

 form, known as Bechteli, is probably 

 the finest of all the ornamental apples. 

 It makes a wider and more spreading 

 head than P. coronaria. The foliage 

 is dark green, and the double, delicate 

 pink flowers are the largest of any of 

 the forms, as fine and fragrant as a tea 

 rose. Anyone who wants a beautiful 

 lawn specimen should plant this lovely 

 crab-apple. It flowers with us two 

 weeks later than the floribunda and To- 

 ringo types, usually the first week m 



June. . _ 



Pyrus spectabilis, the Chinese flower- 

 ing crab, forms a symmetrical, wide head. 

 The leaves, green in summer, turn gold- 

 en in fall. The reddish buds give way 

 to pink flowers, and they, in their turn, 

 to reddish yellow fruit. It is now, May 

 16, in fwU flower. The botanical name 

 for the/ apples is now given as Mains, but 

 the older name is still used by most of 

 the nurserymen and it will be many 

 years before the name pyrus will fall 

 into disuse.
