Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
Flowering Crabs 
MALUS ARNOLDIANA (Arnold C.), semi-double; pink; early flowering; splendid 
foliage; yellow fruit; a popular sort. A to H. 
MALUS ATROSANGUINEA (Carmine C.), single; red; bush form; early flowering. 
This is my personal preference; it may be used in varied positions. Absolutely 
the most showy of the lot. Adapted for hedge planting or screens. Makes a per¬ 
fect hedge 8 to 10 ft. high. A to H. 
MALUS BACCATA (Siberian C.), single; white; fragrant; upright; tree-like growth; 
brightly colored fruit good for jelly besides being ornamental. A few larger 
trees. Price on application. A to E. 
MALUS BECHTELS (Ioensis Plena), double; pink; fragrant; late flowering. The 
well-known popular sort. Standards or tree form. Comes into bloom when 
quite small and is exceedingly hardy. B to F. 
MALUS DR. VAN FLEET. A new introduction of merit. Vigorous grower. Large 
pink single flowers. A to H. 
MALUS ELEYI, purple to red foliage and bloom. NEW. Best red leaf sort. In 
sunlight the foliage is quite brilliant and stays so until fall, rivaling Japanese 
red-leaf maples. During flowering period the tree is smothered with large purple 
flowers in clusters. Absolutely the most showy variety while in fruit, which is of 
apricot color, cherry size. In both Pyramid and Standard Forms. A to H. 
MALUS FLORIBUNDA, single; pink; early; spreading. Yellow fruit, slightly tinted 
red. An old, well-known sort and for that reason one of the best sellers. Should 
be used with all the dark sorts. A to F. 
MALUS FLORIBUNDA-PURPUREA, one of the best, purple foliage and flowers, 
dark purple fruit, the second best of the purple jeaf varieties. When the tree 
is in bloom, it is absolutely covered with deep purple blossoms more densely than 
any other variety I have observed with the exception of Hopa and Eleyi, which 
are equally good. Standard or tree form. A to H. 
MALUS HOPA, large flowering, purple leaf crab. Very hardy and prolific bloomer, 
purple flowers. Very showy fruit; quite formal and shapely growth. A variety 
of great merit. Deep rose-colored flowers. B to H. 
MALUS IOENSIS ("Prairie Crab”), large single, pink, fragrant, late flowering. 
Grows wild in many States, including Pennsylvania, but is well worth garden 
room, although too vigorous for a small garden. In both pyramid and standard 
forms. Heavy specimen plants only. 
MALUS MICROMALUS (Midget C.), flowers pink tint; single; dwarf habit. An 
extra choice sort. NEW. Compact growth, vase form. The long, slender 
branches covered with flowers suggest garlands of flowers. Real quality, a prime 
sort. A to H. 
MALUS NIEDZWETZKYANA (Redvein C.), purple leaf and bloom; large flowers 
and fruit good to eat. The first purple leaf sort known. A Japanese apple. In 
habit and growth it more closely resembles an ordinary apple than the Crabs, 
but it is not so big; generally symmetrical in growth. An old-time variety, not 
needed now, better sorts in my list, but folks will ask for them. E to H. 
MALUS PARKMANI (Halliena Parkmani; Parkman C.), double; pink. A dwarf 
tree; very low growing; just right for small gardens; very hardy; flowers an 
exceptionally lovely pink. Prolific; one of the first to open and one of the last 
to fade. A to E.
