Charlotte Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
This charming variety originated in the vicinity of Waukegan. 
It is not unlike the well known Bechtel’s Crab but those 
who have seen it prefer it to the latter. The flowers are 2 
to 2% inches in diameter, semi-double and a lovely shade of 
soft pink with prominent brown anthers. It is deliciously 
fragrant and has glossy green foliage. 
Dorothea Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.09 
From the Arnold Arboretum in Boston we received our start 
of this lovely fragrant Crab. 2-inch double pink flowers in 
immense quantities transform this tree into a lovely bouquet. 
Many people claim that the Dorothea Crab will ultimately 
replace the Bechtel’s variety. Be that as it may, Dorothea is 
one of the great shows when flowering Crabs are in bloom. 
Floribunda atropurpurea 
Each $2.75, Three $7.75, Doz. $27.50 
The flowers are red and when this tree is in bloom it will 
stop every passer-by. The bronzy red foliage also contributes 
mightily to its showiness and beauty. In the autumn when 
the thousands of small Apples turn red you again behold 
a lovely sight. It is a strong grower and will bloom profusely 
on small plants. 
Floribunda Hillieri Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
This handsome new English Crab will soon replace the com- 
mon Floribunda. The flowers are almost an inch in diameter 
and semi-double; crimson in bud, opening a beautiful shade 
of bright pink, wreathing the arching stems in clusters of 
from 5 to 8 flowers. It blooms late and prolongs the flower- 
ing season by several days. Ore of the best of the double 
Crabs. Ultimate height, about 10 to 12 feet. 
Ioensis plena Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Bechtel’s Crab is a double form of the Wild Crab Apple of 
the Mississippi Valley. The original plant was discovered 
near Staunton, Illinois, in 1850. It is a robust, round-headed 
tree with double, pale pink flowers about 2 inches across, 
exactly like little Roses. They have a delicate violet scent. 
Kaido or Fragrant Crab Each $3.00, Three $8.50 
This is an indispensable, noted for its deliciously fragrant, 
soft pink flowers. It blooms early and the exquisite coloring 
of its rose-pink buds and rich clear pink flowers make it 
one of the finest small pink flowered trees. In growth it is 
decidedly upright, in fact, almost pyramidal and when fully 
grown will be about 8 to 10 feet in height, and not much 
more than 4 feet across. A rare tree which we are happy 
to be able to offer at last. We send 4-year-old trees, about 
3 to 4 feet high. 
Pink Weeper Crab = Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This is an unusually handsome Weeping Flowering Crab. 
The main stem is upright. The branches are weeping and 
droop onto the ground. The effect is like a fountain and 
when in bloom in spring, a picture not easily forgotten. 
Makes a perfect small specimen tree for the lawn. The 
flowers are pink when open; the buds blood-red. A beau- 
tiful flowering, small weeping tree. Its attractiveness is pro- 
longed by its fruits until late in the fall. Ultimate height 
10 to 12 feet. We offer nicely shaped trees about 4 to 5 feet.
