FLOWERING CRAB APPLES 



GORGEOUS flowering tree is the Flowering Crab-apple, with its 

 magnificent blossoms of white, pink and red, which open in May. Weave 

 them among your shrubbery or at the edge of woods or in the garden; they 

 are extremely hardy and some of the double-flowered variety are especially 

 fine for cutting. Malus Floribunda, the best known of the Asiatic Crabs, is 

 wreathed in pink blossoms in the spring of the year. All of the Malus here 

 listed are dug with a ball and burlapped. (B. & B.)
