MALUS — FLOWERING CRABS 



The Flowering Crabs are among the most charming of spring trees. They 

 are not only beautiful when in blossom but many carry most ornamental 

 and richly-colored fruit in the autumn. Most of the Crab family form grace- 

 ful garden trees of medium size. They are quite hardy and require no par- 

 ticular cultivation, thriving best in a good loam and full sunshine.
