FLOWERING FRUIT TREES 
FLOWERING APPLES 
Also called Flowering Crabs; the two names are interchangeable. Botanically all 
are forms of Malus. 
ADSTRINGENS. H5. Buds purple; open flowers soft pink. Equally beautiful in fall 
as not only does the foliage color well, but the tree bears a good crop of unusually 
handsome fruit, red crab-apples about % inch in diameter. 4-6 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.00. 
ALDENHAMENSIS. H5. A fine hybrid from England. Flowers are red and semi-double. 
Foliage purple. Fruit up to one inch diameter is purplish red. 6-8 ft. $2.00, 4-6 ft. $1.25, 
3-4 ft. $1.00. 
ELEYI. H5. Vigorous; purple leaves; red flowers; showy fruit. 3-4 ft. $1.00. 
HALLIANA (or PARKMANNI) (Kaido Crab). H5 (V). Has long willowy branches 
bearing a wealth of single or double pink flowers on long drooping stems. 4-5 ft. $1.25, 
3-4 ft. $1.00. 
SCHEIDECKERI. H5. Pink, semi-double, fragrant flowers in clusters. Growth decided¬ 
ly upright. 8-10 ft. $2.50, 6-8 ft. $1.75, 4-6 ft. $1.25. 
SPECTABILIS GRANDIFLORA. H5. Flowers very large and really double, light 
pink. Habit very erect. 4-6 ft. $1.25. 
*THEIFERA ROSEA. H5 (V). The late Ernest Wilson spoke of this as “the very 
quintessence of Crabapple loveliness.” Flowers large, up to two inches diameter, buds 
pink, opening to nearly white. Blooms late. Fruit small, yellow and red. 4-5 ft. $1.25, 
3-4 ft. $1.00. 
ZUMI CALOCARPA. H5 (V). Flower buds soft pink, opening pure white in great pro¬ 
fusion. Growth rather compact and inclined to be bushy. Fruit remarkably beautiful, 
loading the stout branches with clusters of pea-size glossy red crabs which are very 
hard and last into winter. 6-8 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. $1.75, 4-5 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.25. 
FLOWERING APRICOTS 
Excepting the first variety these are forms of the Japanese Prunus mume, the so- 
called “Plum Blossoms” of Japan. These differ from Flowering Peaches chiefly in 
blooming much earlier and having a rich, spicy, carnation-like fragrance. 
CHARLES ABRAHAM (Prunus armeniaca var.). H5 (V-VI). This unique apricot was 
first distributed by us two years ago although brought to this country long ago by the 
man in whose memory it is named. Flowers are very double, massed along the bare 
brown branches, deep pink shading to red and produced over an unusually long period. 
5-6 ft. $1.50, 4-5 ft. $1.25, 3-4 ft. $1.00. 
The following are all forms of Prunus mume. H4-5 (VI). 
ROSEMARY CLARKE. H4-5 (VI). Originated by us and first offered last season. 
We consider it by far the best double white variety to date. Flowers are fairly large; 
have a striking red calyx, unusually long stamens, and are borne well around the 
stems. Intensely fragrant. Blooms here in February. 6-8 ft. $2.25, 5-6 ft. $2.00, 4-5 ft. 
$1.75, 3-4 ft. $1.50. 
UNNAMED VARIETIES. H4-5. These were selected as the best out of several hundred 
seedlings raised in our breeding experiments. We shall probably name them later. 
**No. 207. Soft pink, double with beautifully ruffled and reflexed petals; January. 
**No. 209. Double, soft pink. By far the earliest double Mume but flowers for two 
months. In 1937 it commenced to bloom December 15th! 
**No. 210. Double pink. Flowers rather small but have fine color. Possibly the best very 
early pink. Was in bloom January 1, 1938. 
Prices for above three varieties: 5-6 ft. $i.75, 4-5 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.25. 
MISCELLANEOUS VARIETIES. H4-5 
5-6 ft. $1.00, 4-5 ft. 80c, 3-4 ft. 70c. 
Dawn. Introduced by us 15 years ago. Has become a great favorite for its large ruffled 
double, very fragrant pink flowers. 2-3 ft. 60c (nothing larger available now). 
Double Red. 
Mme. Dorbon. A good double shell-pink. Mid-season. 
Praecox. A very early single white. 
WEEPING VARIETIES. H4-5 
Hitherto the Weeping Apricots were limited to small flowering single or slightly semi¬ 
double forms but the two below have really double flowers comparable to those of 
erect growers. Both originated with us and will be named later. They are probably 
hybrids of Dawn and a semi-double weeping variety. We consider them very fine indeed. 
**No. 201. Flowers double, pure “peachblossom” pink. Fairly early. 
**No. 204. Also double pink. Blooms a week or ten days later than No. 201. 
Top grafted trees on 4 ft. stems with strong heads $2.50.
