CRAB APPLE . 
Within the past few years much attention has been given to improving 
this class of fruit, because of their adaptability to cold sections where only a 
few varieties of apples can be successfully grown. These efforts have been 
attended with marked success. Crab apples succeed equally well in all sec- 
tions, and are valuable for cider, preserving, jelly, ornament, and some of the 
improved sorts are excellent for eating. Sent to the Eastern markets, they 
command a very high price.
