MALUS ARNOLDIANA, ARNOLD CRAB— Similar to Floribunda. A cross 
of baccata and floribunda. Resembles the latter in habit of growth, its splen¬ 
did glossy foliage and yellow fruit. The flowers are abundant, large rose col¬ 
ored turning white, single or semi-double in clusters on three-inch-long red 
and wire-like stems. Blossoms while young. Originated and rated excellent 
at Arnold Arboretum and named after that institution. 
ATROS ANGUINE A, CARMINE CRAB— One of the most beautiful things 
in the garden is this bush-like crab when in bloom. In the sunlight the tree 
in bloom looks as though clothed in ever changing shimmering pink silk gauze. 
The plant will grow as wide as tall but may be trained 20 feet tall if desired 
or may be grown as a hedge, like privet, shearing twice after bloom in late 
spring and summer. The glossy green foliage hangs into November. The 
flowers are single, brilliant carmine. One year old plants will bloom freely. 
ANGUSTIFOLIA, SOUTHERN CRAB— A late blooming native species with 
single, bright pink, very fragrant flowers. Young plants blossom freely. 
AN GU STIFOLIA FLORE-PLENO— Double Southern Crab. Large, double 
light-pink bloom. 
BACCATA, SIBERIAN CRAB —An Asiatic type with an upright tree-like 
growth which bears good foliage, red buds and single white, fragrant flowers. 
The fruit is beautiful in color, fragrant, abundant, good for jelly and as an 
ornament the tree is very effective. Comes into bloom relatively early in life. 
CORONARIA, WILD SWEET CRAB —A native species which bears single 
white and pink, delightfully fragrant flowers; yellowish green fruit sometimes 
used for jelly and preserves. 
A new double-flowered form is available in limited quantities. It is tall 
growing. 3 to 4 feet, $3.00 each. 
ELEYI, ELEY CRAB (New)—A cross of Niedzwetzkyana and Spectabilis. 
Award of merit, R. H. S., London, England. Excellent red-leaf sort. Foliage 
bright brownish purplish red. Blossoms rich vinous red in thick clusters. 
Fruit the size and color of Morello cherries hang in clusters from the lower 
side of the branches. 3 to 5 feet, $2.50 each. 
FLORIBUNDA, JAPANESE FLOWERING CRAB —An old favorite of 
spreading habit, makes an excellent bush, can be grown as a tree and is a 
mass of pink in bloom with its bright pink buds and white flowers, followed 
by yellowish green small fruits much relished by birds. Will bloom freely when 
a foot high. 
FLORIBUNDA PURPUREA, PURPLE CRAB —One of the best with its pur¬ 
ple bark, sap, foliage and single purple flowers and small dark, purple fruit, 
which are borne on long pendulous stems in profusion on mature trees. Not 
as early in fruiting as floribunda. A strong grower. 
A tree is a living thing—treat it so.
