FLOWERING CRABS 
(Malus) 
At long last, Flowering Crabs are getting the attention they 
deserve. First of all, Flowering Crabs are highly ornamental. Not 
only are the trees themselves attractive, but the flowers and fruit 
are decorative. Some varieties produce edible fruit, notably Hopa 
and Dolgo. 
Flowering Crabs can also be used for shade. They are especially 
desirable for this purpose, on small home grounds where there is no 
room for the larger trees such as Elms, Oaks, and Sycamores. Out of 
the many varieties of Flowering Crabs on the market, we have 
selected a group that we consider the best, based on years of obser- 
vation. 
Atrosanguinea. Purple-bronze foliage, rosy-lavender flowers. Purplish 
fruit. 18 feet.

From early spring until freezing weather this tree will be a 
delight to you. In the spring the expanding foliage is bronzy red 
but before the leaves are fully developed the whole tree bursts into 
bloom, being completely covered with the most magnificent fragrant 
pink flowers. It is hard to imagine anything more showy. 
The flowers are followed by the prettiest tiny red apples that 
bejewel the tree during the summer. You can make a good jelly 
from them. 
Hopa Crab is easy to grow and perfectly hardy. No wonder 
it is our most popular flowering ornamental tree.
