plenty of room for spreading. Yet the newer modern sorts are better and 
give results sooner. 
Malus Parkmani is a lovely, slow-growing, dwarf tree with long lanceo¬ 
late fol iage and showy, double, pink flowers on drooping, red stems. It is 
not desirable for general planting where immediate effect is desired. It has 
no value for landscape effect, but is ideal for small gardens. It is an attrac¬ 
tive and beautiful little tree. 
Malus Red Tip is an unusual va¬ 
riety. While it is in all probability an 
outcross of loENSis and Eleyi, it has 
retained the rust resistant qualities of 
Eleyi, and is not subject to cedar rust. 
The flowers are single, beautiful rich 
pink, opening rather late and are dis¬ 
tributed somewhat after the fashion of 
plum blossoms on the bare limbs in 
early spring. Very little fruit. 
Malus Red Silver is a new variety. 
We have no idea how it obtained the 
name. It is as hardy as the rest of the 
crabs, in South Dakota where it origi¬ 
nated it is highly recommended. We 
intend to propagate it, and have a few 
young trees. 
Malus Sargenti is a dwarf type 
introduced by Arnold Arboretum near 
Boston. It has a distinct tendency to 
spread, with no inclination to grow up. 
If it has enough room it will spread in 
all directions, but not likely to be over 
four to six feet high. The fl owers are 
white with yellow stamens produced in 
a surprisingly liberal manner. The gen¬ 
eral effect of the flower is that of a 
plum blossom. A fruit seems to follow 
every flower. The fruit is green until 
September when it turns red. After the foliage drops, the fruit is present 
in such enormous quantities that quails and pheasants are attracted. This 
is the tree to plant to help wild fowl through the winter. Smaller birds make 
use of the fruit too, but the ring-necked pheasant strips the lower branches. 
The fruit wh ich is not eaten will remain on the tree all winter.
