20339. Malus baccata. Siberian crab apple. 



From near Okiansk. "(No. 56Sa, Oct. 9, 1906.) The ordinary type 

 of Mains baccata, seen all over eastern Siberia, northern Korea, and 

 Manchuria. Is worthless from a fruiting point of view, but may be very 

 valuable as a stock for apples in the northern regions ; also in hybridizing 

 with large-fruited varieties it may be possible to produce a perfectly 

 hardy apple far north. At the present, as an ornamental early-flowering 

 shrub or tree it has most value." (Meyer.)
