RABS - Flowering 
Everyone loves Apple blossoms and the Flowering Crabs 
will supply these blossoms in even greater beauty than the 
fruiting Apple trees. The trees are of dwarf habit so they 
are well adapted to the home grounds. Flowering Crab 
blossoms open slowly and last a long time. Use them 
freely for spring beauty in your landscape. The trees are 
absolutely hardy. 
JAPANESE VARIETIES 
These varieties are literally covered with blossoms in May and are 
a beautiful sight when in bloom. Because of the smooth texture of the 
leaves the Japanese varieties are not susceptible to the Cedar Rust and 
can therefore be planted near Junipers.
