CRABS, ORNAMENTAL. Small trees flowering in May and very desirable for 
landscape purposes. They easily take the place of Japanese cherries, which 
are not dependable here. The blossoms last longer than the flowering plum 
or cherry and afford a good range of colors. Many have colorful fruit rang- 
ing in size from a pea up, some lasting most of the winter if the birds don’t 
get them. Several also make excellent jelly or preserves. The number fol- 
lowing the name is the average height at maturity. The approximate size 
and color of the flowers and fruit are also given.
