Bechtel’s Double Flowering Crab 
FLOWERING CRAB (Malus) 
Producing flower effects equal to those of more 
talked-of cherries. The crabs are hardy and adda 
charm of fragrant wildness to a planting. 
They are extremely hardy and will thrive in 
positions and exposures which would be fatal to 
the more delicately constituted cherries. They also 
exhibit a greater variety in character of tree, a 
wider range of color in their blossoms, and in 
autumn are adorned with glittering clusters of 
fruit in shades of green, yellow, orange, scarlet, 
and crimson. No other flowering trees equal the 
flowering crabs in profusion of bloom, and among 
other good qualities, varieties may be selected 
which have a restricted growth or dwarf habit so 
that they will never become too large and clumsy. 
Prices: 3-4 ft. branched, 60c; 4-6 ft. branched, 85c.
