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.

~ HOPA FLOWERING CRAB 
From early spring until freezing weather this tree will be a de- 
light 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 fra- 
grant 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.
