Pink Weeper Crab 
Flo werlng Crabs 
Two groups of flowering trees, the Cherries and the Crabs, 
stand far above all others in daintiness and grace. The Jap- 
anese Cherries are well advertised by the spectacular plant- 
ing in Washington, D. C., but the even lovelier Crab Apples 
have never received justice at the hands of American plant- 
ers. Crabs are extremely hardy and will thrive in positions 
and exposures which would be fatal to the more delicately 
constituted Cherries. They 
also exhibit a greater va- 
riety in character of tree, 
wider range of color in 
their blossoms, and in 
autumn are adorned with 
glittering clusters of fruit 
in shades of green, yel- 
low, orange, scarlet, and 
crimson. No other flow- 
ering trees equal the 
flowering Crabs in pro- 
fusion of bloom, and 
amongst other good qual- 
ities, varieties may be 
selected which have a re- 
stricted growth or dwarf 
habit so that they will 
never become too large 
and clumsy.
