pink blooms that gradually fade to white.

followed by large edible fruits that are very distinctly red fleshed.

large, rosy-pink fading to rosy-white. 
magdeburgensis 14-16 ft.

clusters. Resembles Malus scheideckeri in growth, but is a more robust grower. 
prunefolia rinki — Ringo Crab 15-18 ft. 
A strong growing variety with wide-spreading branches and large flower trusses. Deli- 
cate pink in bud, followed by almost white flowers. The very decorative red or yellow

followed in the Fall by dark purplish-red fruits. 
purpurea aldenhamensis — Aldenham Crab 16-18 ft. 
Another very showy hybrid with bronze-purple foliage. Very similar to the Eley Crab, 
but the bloom is larger, semi-double to double, and a bright vineous-red. 
purpurea Eleyi — Eley Crab 16-18 ft. 
A very showy and handsome hybrid with reddish purple foliage, the best of the purple- 
leaved Crabs. The flowers are a brilliant bright red followed by dark purple fruits.
