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.
