FLOWERING CRABS 
(Malus) 
At long last, flowering crabs are getting the attention they de- 
serve. First of all, Flowering Crabs are highly ornamental. Not only 
are the trees themselves attractive, but the flowers and fruits 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 se- 
lected a group that we consider the best, based on years of observa- 
tion. 
FLOWERING CRABS (Malus). 
\ Almey (Rosy Bloom). New! Deep crimson buds open to huge scarlet 
blooms with white star-like markings at base of each. Scarlet fruits. 
Excellent tree to pot for cash and carry sales. Usually blooms same
