Fiery \ America’s Most Sensational 
Cuimsou loweriug Crate 
Y 
In all our 83 years in the nursery business, we have never seen as sensational a 
Flowering Crab tree as Almey; nor have we ever seen a new introduction live 
up, so completely, to all its early promises. 
Almey has huge dollar-size blooms of a rich, glistening, fiery crimson. Each petal 
has at its base, pure white markings that give the blossom the appearance of a 
five-pointed star surrounded by crimson. From a distance, however, this is not 
apparent and the tree looks as though it were a mass of flame. 
Although not a large tree—about 12 to 15 feet—Almey is vigorous and attains 
its mature height quite rapidly. Another outstanding characteristic of Almey is 
: that it blooms young. Every spring in the nursery the little trees—a year before
