DECIDUOUS TREES — CONTINUED 
MALUS — Flowering Crabs 
Small trees producing a profusion of flowers in the Spring—one of the 
most desirable and most decorative classes of our ornamental flowering 
trees. All are small trees, very free-flowering, producing masses of very 
showy flowers early in the Spring, followed in the Fall by decorative fruits 
that often persist on the trees well into the Winter. They are perfectly 
hardy, grow well in any good soil, and are very satisfactory either as speci¬ 
men plants or in mass plantings. 
MALUS coronaria — Wild Sweet Crab
