Ornamental Fruiting Crabs. 
These are well deserving of general cultivation, for not only is the fruit valuable for preserving, but 
the great profusion of blossom in the Spring, and the bright coloured fruit of many of the sorts, render 
them most attractive as ornamental trees either on the lawn or in the shrubbery.
