Flowering Crab-Apples 
Gorgeous when covered with their pink or 
white blossoms, and wonderfully decorative 
when laden with their colorful fruit, the 
Crab-Apples compel our admiration in the 
depths of winter when Mother Nature and 
the birds have denuded the branches of both 
foliage and fruit. They are shapely trees, 
and whether there is but one tree in a small 
yard or a collecti in of them on a large estate, 
the owner will be proud of them. Some of 
the Apples are large enough for jelly while 
others are no larger than wild cherries, but 
they are all attractive and the birds love 
them.
