FYRUS anerustifolia, continued 
ing Crabs. Tree of medium size, covered in early spring with large, 
beautiful, double fragrant flowers of a delicate pink color. From a 
distance the flowers have the appearance of small roses. A great 
acquisition, and_certain to become very popular as soon as known. 
Blooms when quite young. 
Scarlet Oak (see page 10) 
P. malus Halleana ; syn., Parkmani. Pakkman’s Double - 
flowering Crab. From Japan. An irregular, awkward-shaped tree 
when young, but a most attractive tree when filled with buds and blos- 
soms. Each bud produces regularly five blossoms and are set on stems 
3 inches long, and are so slender that they bend with the weight of the 
buds or bloom in a very graceful fashion. The buds are carmine in 
color ; the open blossoms are semi double, and the tree when in 
bloom presents a most gorgeous appearance. It is not extensively 
grown by nurserymen because of its natural awkwardness when 
young. In Dayton this desirable tree should be classed as semi-hardy, 
as it needs winter protection until well established.
