YOUR GARDEN 
• WE HEARTILY RECOMMEND 
these three distinct and desirable 
Flowering Crabs as worthy of a place 
in every garden. One red, one pink, 
one white—all free-flowering—each 
unique. 
SARGENT CRAB (Malus sargenti). 
The only dwarf Flowering Crab, rarely 
exceeding 6-8 ft. in height. Its abundant 
pure white flowers in late May and per¬ 
sistent scarlet fruit combine with its re¬ 
stricted height to assure it a warm wel¬ 
come from discerning gardeners. The 
fruit is a tasty banquet for birds thruout 
the winter months.

TEA CRAB (Malus theifera). Most SARGENT CRAB AT ARNOLD ARBORETUM 
gorgeous of all Flowering Crabs, surpass¬ 
ing the showiest Cherry trees in profusion and charm of flower. In May the fragrant flowers are rose-red 
in bud, almost white when expanded. Dr. Wilson, of the Arnold Arboretum, called it the most beautiful 
of the deciduous small trees he had introduced. 20- 25 ft. at maturity. 
ELEY FLOWERING CRAB (Malus purpurea eleyi). New and choice. A rare garden treasure, of breath 
taking loveliness in May when aflame with a myriad of vinous-red flowers. Deep purple-red fruit gives it 
added garden value. 15-20 ft. at maturity.
