Crabs are the ideal ornamental tree 
for every type of home. Each spring 
these graceful trees are covered 
with thousands of large clusters of 
red, pink and white blossoms. It’s a 
springtime tonic to see these clouds 
of blooms tossing softly in the gentle 
wind. 
Early to Bloom. Many blossom the 
first year planted. They grow about

these glorious trees.
