Flowering Trees from the Orient — 
The Lovely MALUS - Flowering Crab 
The Crab Apples are small, round-headed trees with irregular 
branches forming a rugged, picturesque framework. Literally cov¬ 
ered with blossoms in May, they compare favorably with the Japanese 
Cherries. In the fall they bear heavy clusters of showy, waxy fruits, 
varying from pale green to orange-red. They are fine planted either 
singly or in mixed groups of several varieties. 
We offer semi-matured specimens of these Crabs, several times 
transplanted and heavy enough to create an immediate decorative 
effect. The degree of heaviness of each sort is indicated by the letter 
X.
