FLOWERING CRAB (Malus) 
Prices: 5-6 ft. branched $2.00 Each. 
Produces flower effects equal to those of more 
talked-of cherries. The crabs are hardy and add a 
charm of fragrant wildness to a planting. 
They are extremely hardy and will thrive in posi- 
tions and exposures which would be fatal to the more 
delicately constituted cherries. They also exhibit a 
greater variety in character of tree, a wider range of 
color in their blossoms, and in autumn are adorned 
with glittering clusters of fruit in shades of green, 
yellow, orange, scarlet, and crimson. No other flow- 
ering trees equal the flowering erabs in profusion of 
bloom, and among other good qualities, varieties may 
be selected which have a restricted growth or dwarf 
habit so that they will never become too large and 
clumsy. 
Atrosanguinea—In early May, every twig and 
branehlet of the Carmine Crab is covered with clus- 
ters of dark pink, almost crimson flowers. Its spread- 
ing or weeping habit of growth makes it a handsome 
lawn specimen. 
Bechtel’s—The flowers are a beautiful shade of 
pink, are large, very double and fragrant, resembling 
little roses. It blooms somewhat later than most va- 
rieties. 
Eleyi—Attractive reddish foliage in spring chane- 
ing to pink. Clustered single rose-pink flowers fol- 
lowed by showy red fruit. 
Floribunda purpurea—Its purple foliage and bark, 
single crimson flowers and fruit make it a distinct 
departure from the ordinary. The flowers and fruit 
are carried on long, pendulous stems and are pro- 
duced in great abundance. A strong grower. 
Hopa—A beautiful, upright growing tree with at- 
tractive fohage. Entirely covered with rose-colored 
flowers in April. Fruit red inside and out, hanging 
on until late autumn. Very hardy and free from dis: 
ease. Planted extensively. 
Parkmani—An irregular shaped little tree when 
young, Parkman’s Crab assumes a most attractive pic- 
turesque habit as it grows older. The flowers are 
bright rosy red, double, and droop gracefully on 
threadlike pedicels. It is a gorgeous ornament to any 
planting, and has long been a favorite. 
Scheideckeri—The flowers of Sheidecker’s Crab 
are double, bright pink, last a long time, and the fruit, 
which is produced in great profusion, is waxy yellow. 
The tree has a regular pyramidal habit, about 15 feet 
high. Best and easiest to flower. 
Spectabilis (Chinese Flowering Crab)—Growth de- 
cidedly erect and vase-like. Flowers double. fairly 
large and light pink, followed in autumn with beauti- 
ful red fruit.
