CRAB APPLES. 
Both Ornamental and Useful. 
The hardy and improved varieties of Crab Apples, some of which are of recent introduction and 
promise great excellence, supply a much-needed want in the more northern portions of the United States 
and Canada, where little else in the line of fruit can be grown. And even in the more favored localities, 
where other fruits are raised in abundance, Crab Apples are every year becoming more esteemed and cul¬ 
tivated. 
TRANSCENDENT. 
Trees are ornamental, handsome 
growers, and when in 'bloom or 
producing their loads of highly- 
colored fruit make beautiful speci¬ 
mens that grace any situation. 
Perfectly hardy and succeed on all 
kinds of soil in the most exposed 
locations; annual bearers, usually 
fruiting the second season after 
planting, producing large crops cf 
beautiful fruit that can be canned, 
cooked, jellied, dried or preserved, 
and many of the' newer varieties 
are, pleasant and rich as table 
fruits; for cider or vinegar they 
are unequaled. 
Taking into consideration their 
extreme hardiness, early product¬ 
iveness, beauty and value for cul¬ 
inary purposes, as well as some 
varieties for the dessert, entitle 
them to a place in every garden. 
Transcendent. —All things considered, this is one 
of the most valuable varieties of crab apples 
grown. Tree remarkably vigorous, growing to a 
good size and immensely productive. Comes into 
bearing a little the second year from planting, 
bearing every year after, and producing good crops 
by the fourth year. Fruit very large, from one and 
one-half to two inches in diameter, being large 
enough to quarter and core for preserving and dry¬ 
ing. Excellent for sauce and pies, both green and 
dried. The best of its class for cider, being juicy 
and crisp, and is also by many considered a good 
eating apple. Skin yellow, striped with red. Sep¬ 
tember to October. 
Hyslop. —Almost as large as Early Strawberry 
Apple; deep crimson; very popular on account of 
its large size, beauty and hardiness; flesh yellow, 
sub-acid and good quality; keeps well into the 
winter. 
Martha. — Origin Minnesota. Oblate, medium 
large, yellow; very good quality; valuable for des¬ 
sert. kitchen and cider. 
Whitney. —Canadian origin. Oblate, conical, small, 
yellow russet; flesh tender, juicy, yellow, rich sub¬ 
acid; quality very good; valuable for dessert. Sea¬ 
son very late.
