Malus - Flowering Crab Magnolia 
Flowering Crab-—Arnoldiana 
The Flowering Crabs have few rivals among 
the gorgeous spring-flowering trees. They are 
hardy, of easy culture, and will thrive in al- 
most any soil. They are available in many 
shades and when used as specimens or mass 
plantings are most effective. Many kinds bear 
very ornamental fruit. No lawn is complete with- 
out one of these gems. 
VMALUS ALMEY (Almey’s Crab). 12 to 15 
ft. This is an outstanding new variety. 
Carmine buds, opening to crimson and 
holding the color well. White marking at 
base of each petal. Tree blooms at a 
young age, and individual flowers are very 
large. Fruit is maroon when ripe.

plant.

Specimen plants, larger than normal, were used at this house to give immediate effect. Additional 
planting in rear, gives charm to this lovely home. Another Hillenmeyer job.
