ANGUSTIFOLIA. A double flowering form of the wild Southern crab. This 
variety appears to be subject to cedar rust. 
ARNOLDIANA (Arnold C.) This variety resembles in a general way the 
somewhat delicate Halliana or Parkmani, but it is very much stronger grow- 
ing. Flowers are pink, semi-double, early; splendid foliage; yellow fruit; 
very popular. 
. ATROSANGUINEA (Carmine C.), single; red; bush form; early flowering. It 
may be used in varied positions: as a screen, or a perfect hedge 3 to 10 feet 
high. Lends itself to shearing, and can be sheared into columns, arches, 
hedges, and round-headed standards as perfectly molded as a ball. We 
have a few old specimen trees of this variety that are 15 ft. high with a 
spread of about 12 feet, and a trunk up to the first branches of 6 to 7 feet 
high. This variety, and Floribunda, can readily be trained into any style, 
form, or shape desired, even espalier. 
. BACCATA. Fragrant, white flowers, cherry red fruit approximately the color 
of half ripened red cherries—a uniform scarlet color all around. Growth vig- 
orous, pyramidal or cone shaped tapering to the top from a broad base. Fruit 
fine for jelly. 
. BACCATA CERACIFERA (Cherry Crab). The fruit on this variety is a trifle 
larger than sweet cherries, a brilliant red color and produced in abundance; 
excellent for jelly. The flowers are white, fragrant. 
. ELEYI. The best red-leaf sort in ithe spring coloring. Occasionally the iree 
will retain its color throughout the entire season, from spring until fall, but 
most of the trees turn green during the summer. The fruit is brilliant scarlet 
and very conspicuous: of excellent quality for jelly. During flowering period 
the tree is smothered with large red flowers in clusters 
. FLORIBUNDA. Single; pink; early; spreading. Yellow fruit, slightly tinted red. 
An old, well-known variety and for that reason one of the best sellers. 
. FLORIBUNDA-PURPUREA, one of the best; copper beech color foliage and 
flowers of beautiful red-violet; dark purple fruit, which is retained on the 
tree from August until late November. When the tree is in bloom, it is 
absolutely covered with deep purple blossoms more densely than any other 
variety with the exception of Hopa and Eleyi. Standard or Tree Form. 
. HOPA, large flowering, purple leaf Crab. Very hardy and prolific bloomer; 
showy dark red fruit which is very colorful from August until late in Novem- 
ber: quite formal and shapely growth. Red flowers. Foliage green during the 
summer. Has a distinct tendency to form a central leader; decidedly more 
regular in habit than most of the foregoing, with the exception of the two 
varieties of Baccata. 
. IOENSIS (Prairie Crab). Grows wild in most of the States. The flowers 
are large, clear pink, fragrant, and resemble the wild rose. The only objec- 
tion is the abundance of green apples that are hard as stone. They may 
be good for jelly, but I am inclined to doubt that. A cedar rust subject. 
. IOENSIS BECHTELI (Bechtels Crab). The familiar, fragrant, double rose-like 
variety. 
. MICROMALUS (Midget C.), flowers pink tint; single; dwarf habit. An extra 
choice sort. NEW. Compact growth, vase form. The long, slender branches 
covered with flowers suggest garlands of flowers. Real quality, a prime 
sort.
