bright pink, and about an inch wide. Late.

lowed by small dark red fruits about 4 inch diameter.

the stout branches with clusters of pea-size glossy red crabs which are too hard for the

M. adstringens, (3). ABCD. Buds purple; open flowers soft pink. Equally beautiful in fall as 
not only does the foliage color well, but the tree bears a good crop of unusually hand- 
some fruit, red crab-apples about 34 inch in diameter. 
M. eleyi, (3). ABCD. Vigorous; purple leaves; single red flowers; large showy red fruit. 
M. floribunda, (4). CDE. Somewhat spreading. Very profuse. Flowers single, pink and white. 
An old favorite and still very good. 
M. scheideckeri, (4). BCD. Much like M. floribunda except that the growth is decidedly upright 
and it blooms later. Bears a profuse crop of yellow fruit about 4 inch in diameter. 
M. spectabilis grandiflora, DOUBLE CHINESE CRAB, (4). BD. The clustered pink double 
flowers are the largest of any of the oriental crabs, often over 114 inches wide. 
Flowering Apricots 
Excepting the first variety these are forms of Prunus mume, the so-called “Plum Blossoms” 
of Japan. ‘These differ from Flowering Peaches chiefly in blooming much earlier and having a 
rich, spicy, carnation-like fragrance. More complete information about this group may be had 
from page 79 of National Horticultural Magazine for Jan. 1941. 
Charles Abraham (5) Double pink. No stock available this season. 
The following are all varieties of Prunus mume. 
Peggy Clarke, (6). Originated by us and introduced in 1941. Out of all our Apricot breeding 
this is the only double, deep rose-colored variety that we obtained, in fact it is the only one we 
know of its color. The flowers are of medium size, somewhat cupped and of course very fra- 
grant like all the varieties of P. mume. Blooms very profusely a week or two after Rosemary 
Clarke. 6-8 ft. $1.50, 5-6 ft. $1.25. | 
Rosemary Clarke, (6). Originated by us and first offered in 1938. We consider it by far the 
best double white variety to date. The snow-white flowers are fairly large; have a striking red 
calyx, unusually long stamens, and are borne weil around the stems. Intensely fragrant. Blooms 
here in February. A.M.C.H.S. 6-8 ft. $1.50, 5-6 ft. $1.25, 4-5 ft. $1.00.

Bonita, (6). EF. Double deep red. ‘The only one of its color. Very early. Had flowers at 
Xmas this winter but usually later. 
Dawn, (6). EF. Named and introduced by us about 15 years ago. Has become a great favorite 
for its very large ruffled double, intensely fragrant pink flowers. Mid-season. 
Double Red, (6). CDE. Much lighter red than Bonita. 
Early Double Pink, (6). CDE. Sufficiently described by its name. 
Early Double White, (6). BCDE. Not as fine as Rosemary Clarke but “plenty good enough” 
and much earlier. 
Weeping Varieties 
We have succeeded in developing two fine, fully double weeping varieties. Both have 
double pink flowers and differ mainly in time of bloom. They are top worked on 4 ft. stems. 
Selected plants $2.50, usual grade $2.25, light grade $2.00. 
No. 201, very early. 
No. 204, a little later.
