Crab Apples 
These hardy and beautiful trees should be among the first things planted. They 
can be depended upon to stand where other apples are not hardy enough, and pro- 
duce an abundance of good fruit. Many of them make splendid eating apples and 
are a great delight to children. Prices, the same as for apples. 
Soulard — Verv large, yellowish, with a 
Wild Crab flavor. February to June. 
Valuable for cooking. 
Transcendent — Large; yellow and red; 
very good. Tree hardy, but blights 
badly. 
Whitney No. 20 — Large to very large, 
greenish and red, very juicy and good. 
A splendid variety for eating and cook- 
ing. Tree very vigorous, hardy and 
handsome. Universally liked. 
Wild Red Crab — A hybrid of the wild 
crab and cultivated apple. Fruit is as 
large as Whitney, red nearly all over, 
and keeps the year round. It has the 
aroma and flavor of the wild crab which 
makes it just the thing for people who 
like the sauce of the wild crab, as it is 
so much larger. The tree is far the most 
vigorous of any apple tree we ever grew, 
is very easy to transplant, makes a 
beautiful symmetrical tree, and is a 
regular and extremely heavy bearer.

blush; very sweet and good. August to 
September. Slightly bitter if not fully

good for all purposes. Very hardy and

good. One of the best of the new varie-
