FLOWERING CRABAPPLES 
For many years these remarkable trees with their spec- 
tacular quantities of fragrant blooms have been great favor- 
ites. They are extremely hardy, require very little attention 
and don’t seem to be very particular as to soil. 
Malus floribunda Arnoldiana. Arnold’s Crab. Informal 
large shrub or small trees filled about as thick as they can 
stick with charming carmine red buds that open to single 
flowers of soft pink. 3-4 ft., $1.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.00. 
Malus floribunda Scheideckeri. A loose informal small 
tree with bright green foliage and reddish branches. A mar- 
velous profusion of rosy red buds and semi-double light pink 
bloom are thickly clustered on the thin branches. 5-6 ft., 
$1.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.00. 
Malus Halliana. Hall's Crab. Glossy foliaged small tree 
to 15 ft. Deep rose pink flowers to 1% in. across in pro- 
fusion. Purplish small fruit. 3-4 ft., $1.00; 5-gal. containers, 
$2.00. 
Malus ioensis plena. Bechtel’s Flowering Crab. Our 
nomination for the best Flowering Crab. Compact pyramidal 
tree to 12 ft. that bears so many large double light pink 
flowers we wonder how the tree can take care of them. 
Fragrant. Large toothed leaves are bright green above and 
gray green beneath. A real addition to anyone’s garden. 
2-3 ft., 85c; 5-gal. containers, $1.75. See illustration, page 25. 
FLOWERING CHERRY 
These remarkably handsome flowering trees have not been 
planted extensively in Southern California but, although they 
have a shorter blooming season than Flowering Peaches, 
their spring flowers surely deserve a place in your garden. 
Campanulata. The first flowering tree to show color in 
spring. In our usual mild winters the first red pendant buds 
appear soon after Christmas and shortly the entire tree is a 
Pewee blaze of crimson. Merent in growth and quite CYDONIA SANGUINEA 
hardy. 12 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.00. See page 29

Handsome upright red-barked trees that supply spring 
flowers and, with their red and bronze foliage, a strong

to green. A small bushy tree to 10 ft. May also be pruned 
in shrub form. 4-6 ft., 85c; 5-gal. containers, $1.75.

ers, $2.00; gal. containers, 60c.
