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 graceful garden 
trees of medium size. They are quite hardy and require no 
particular cultivation, thriving best in a good loam and full 
sunshine,
