The Flowering Crabs have few rivals among gorgeous Spring flowering trees and shrubs. At the Arnold Ar¬ 
boretum one of the most important events of the year is the blooming of the Crabs, followed by the showy 
fruit in Autumn. Most varieties are of greatest value as feed in winter for Pheasants, Grouse and other birds. 
They are of easy culture, and whether planted singly or in masses, give remarkable and quick results. As 
soon as the ground can be worked in Spring is an ideal time for planting, and again in Fall after foliage is 
well ripened. Give rich soil and mulch heavily. Use all the water the soil will take in planting. 
The sizes we can supply follow the descriptions of each variety. These prices are for strong plants, well 
developed for their height. For extra heavy specimens or selected individual plants charge is made to cover 
increased value. See color illustrations on page 17.
