many of your customers. Excellent for the garden. They 
are readily forced in early Spring if allowed to freeze for 
a few weeks. (Varieties marked X are best for forcing.)

FLOWERING CRABS 
Are you looking for something different? Cut branches 
of the flowering crabs make unusual and distinctive cut 
flowers; especially in very early Spring. They force 
quickly and take little room. Of course they are also 
excellent for planting in the shrub border or as a small 
individual tree and after the flowers; many varieties bear 
ornamental and useful fruit. We offer vigorous blooming 
size trees. (Varieties marked X are most suitable for 
forcing.) 
3- 4 feet, $4.50 per 10—$40.00 per 100
