Ornamental Flowering Crab-Apple 
Pyrus ( Malus) 
These include some of the most ornamental, 
flowering, small trees, literally covered in spring 
with a wealth of fragrant flowers of rare charm. 
They are very hardy, and may be planted as 
attractive specimens alone, or in groups, or again, 
in the high border or boundary planting; for 
trees in the garden they are unsurpassed. The 
flowers of the double-flowered sorts are especially 
fine for cutting. Some varieties have pretty, 
little orange or yellow crab-apples in the fall. The 
following varieties are the best for general garden 
or border planting.
