FLOWERING TREES 
FLOWERING PEACHES 
Flowering Peaches. Include some of the best spring flowering trees. 
Small, as trees grow, they fit into even modest gardens and pro- 
duce the most effective display of bloom in spring. We offer the 
following. Some varieties listed below bare root each, $2.00. 
Bicolor. Large double flowers either entirely red or white blotched 
or streaked with red. Early February. 
Burbank. Double pink shaded rosy pink at center. Buds light pink. 
Early February. 
Pres. Roosevelt. Firey red buds open to brilliant red flowers in 
mid January. Extremely showy, the entire tree often is com- 
pletely covered. 
Purity. Of slow growth and smaller size, this double white gives 
an amazing display of color. Mid February. 
San Jose Pink. Fast growing and heavy blooming variety. Flowers 
soft rose pink, semi-double. Early January. 
Vesuvius. The best late red. Large well shaped rich red flowers of 
perfect camellia-form last well on the tree. Fine for cutting. Mid 
February. 
Wrigley’s Pink. One of the best rose-pink varieties. Excellent and 
showy in early January. Flowers large, double and very fragrant. 
FLOWERING CRABS 
Equally satisfying in the spring landscape are the flowering crabs. 
They are hardier than Peaches in many ways and not at all particu- 
lar as to soil. 
Arnold Crab (Malus arnoldiana). Large shrub or small tree often 
irregular in shape and it is safe to say without reservation one 
of the showiest shrubs in spring with bright red buds and dainty 
white flowers. $2.00 each. 
Bechtel’s Crab (Malus ioensis plena). Distinct from all other crab- 
apples because the flowers are very large and very double, almost 
like delicate light pink roses. Nice clean foliage and regular 
habit. $2.00 each.
