Weeping Peaches 
Like other weeping trees of this nature these are 
top-grafted on erect stems at about 4 or 5 ft. The 
branches droop decidedly giving them a very ar¬ 
tistic appearance. 
DOUBLE RED WEEPING. Color is very rich and 
entirely distinct from the erect reds. 
DOUBLE WHITE WEEPING. Flowers are exact¬ 
ly like those of the tea-plant, but larger and 
moderately double, showing the yellow stamens. 
The long sprays of handsome flowers give a de¬ 
lightful effect. 
VARIEGATED WEEPING. Colored like Pepper¬ 
mint Stick, white ground with red stripes; single. 
FLOWERING CRABAPPLES 
KAIDO Crabapple 
It is immaterial whether they are called Crabs, Apples or Crabapples. All mean the 
same. “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” and so would these. There 
are too many to describe fully, but one new one is worthy of special mention. 
ALDENHAMENSIS. Bark purple all year. Foliage purple until mid-summer. Flowers 
unusually large and rich red, borne profusely. They are followed by a heavy crop of 
fruit, which at first is purple like large huckleberries, but later get to crabapple size, 
turn bright red and make a beautiful show through the summer. Growth is extremely 
vigorous. 
ARNOLDIANA. Growth spreading. Flowers single, large, pink and white. 
FLORIBUNDA. Somewhat spreading. Very profuse. Flowers single, pink and white. 
FLORIBUNDA PURPUREA. A form of preceding with purplish leaves and single red 
flowers. 
HALLIANA (Kaido). A great beauty. Growth irregular; branches long, slender and 
willowy; flowers are single or semi-double on very long stems and a most lovely shade 
of pink. Often mistaken for a Japanese Cherry. 
BECHTEL. The others are oriental; 
this is native. Growth slow and com¬ 
pact. Flowers extremely large, double, 
soft pink and intensely fragrant. 
SCHEIDECKER. Much like Flori- 
bunda except that the growth is de¬ 
cidedly upright and it blooms later. 
SPECTABILIS (Chinese Flowering 
Crab). Growth decidedly erect and 
vase-like. Flowers double, fairly large 
and light pink. 
SPECTABILIS GRANDIFLORA. The 
clustered pink double flowers are the 
MAGNOLIA lilifiora largest of any of the oriental crabs.
