Flowering Crabs 
The Flowering Crab Apples are small trees literally cov- 
ered with blossoms in May. In the fall they bear heavy clus- 
ters of showy, waxy fruits varying from pale green to or- 
ange-red. They transplant readily and are satisfactory under 
a wide range of conditions. They are fine; planted either 
singly or in groups. 
The following varieties provide a range of colors from 
white through pink to red, at least in the bud. Plant Flow- 
ering Crab Apples freely. They are hardy and flower reg- 
ularly. 
Malus arnoldiana 
Arnold Crab 
Semi-double pink blossoms in early spring, followed by yellow fruit, 
and attractive foliage. Makes a dense mound of shrub-like growth.

M. atrosanguinea Carmine Crab 
Like most Flowering Crab Apples, it makes an excellent specimen 
or lawn tree, for in Spring it is a mass of single crimson blooms of 
such richness of color that it is easily the brightest of the rose-tinted 
Crabs.
