Oriental Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
Flowering Crabs Continued 
MALUS FXORIBUNDA-PURPUREA. one of the best; copper beech color foliage and 
flowers of beautiful red-violet; dark purple fruit, which is retained on the tree from 
August until late November. When the tree is in bloom, it is absolutely covered 
with deep purple blossoms more densely than any other variety with the exception 
of Hopa and Eleyi. Standard or Tree Form. 
MALUS HOPA, large flowering, purple leaf Crab. Very hardy and prolific bloomer; 
showy dark red fruit which is very colorful from August until late in November; quite 
formal and shapely growth. Red flowers. Foliage green during the summer. Has 
a distinct tendency to form a central leader; decidedly more regular in habit than 
most of the foregoing, with the exception of the two varieties of Baccata. 
MALUS MICROMALUS {Midget C.), flowers pink tint; single; dwarf habit. An extra 
choice sort. NEW. Compact growth, vase form. The long, slender branches covered 
with flowers suggest garlands of flowers. Real quality, a prime sort. 
MALUS NIEDZWETZKYANA. Red flowers; large red fruit; foliage exactly like fruiting 
apple leaves. 
MALUS RED SILVER. A new variety; silver coated foliage; red flowers. The trees 
originated in South Dakota, and I have not seen the fruit nor the flowers. 
MALUS RED TIP. A new variety of great merit; short stemmed red or pink ilowers, 
similar in distribution to plum blossoms; a vigorous grower; an unusual sight while 
in bloom. 
MALUS SCHEIDECKERI. Double; pink; free flowering; fruit excellent for jelly. One of 
the most conspicuous pink flowering trees of early spring; very hardy; an old sort. 
MALUS SPECTABILIS ROSEA PLENA. Very large double pink flowers profusely pro¬ 
duced; yellow fruit. Rare and good. One of the better double flowering varieties. 
MALUS SPECTABILIS WHITE. A white form of the above. Double flowers; yellow fruit. 
MALUS THEIFERA. Used for tea making in China; lovely pink bloom; glossy foliage; 
upright habit. (Not the tea plant, but a Chinese substitute.)
