Flowering & Ornamental Trees 
This group includes all tree-shrubs and small trees which are used mostly for their 
ornamental characteristics; foliage coloration, unusual habit of growth, attractive bark, floral 
displays and berries. 
Many of the trees could be classed as shade trees, but due to the fact that they give 
such light shade and have such excellent ornamental value, they are herewith listed.

Flowering Crabs 
Perhaps the most versatile and beautiful of the small flowering trees, the flowering Crab 
Apples have been rather badly neglected by the gardening public. 
Adapted to most any type of soil and easy to transplant, they have a wider range of use- 
fulness than nearly any other flowering tree or shrub. Ranging from the very dwarf growing 
Sargent Crab to the artistically branched Tea Crab, they offer low mound-like types, narrow 
upright types, and broad spreading types; all of them equally as valuable for their decorative 
fruits in late summer as for their magnificent floral display in spring. They are equally at 
home trained against walls, as lawn specimens, or used as hedges. 
All varieties, 3/4 ft., $1.25; 4/5 ft., $2.00; 5/6 ft., $3.50.
