FLOWERING CRAB-APPLES have two seasons of attraction—the spring, when their displays of bloom give much pleasure, and autumn, when the fruits are the feature of merit. Flowers are white, through pink to purple in colour, while fruits are various shades of yellow and red, according to the variety. The small-fruited variety shown, Malus floribunda, is a fine round-headed small tree with a rather weeping habit. Fruits are bright yellow, while the blooms are deep rose in bud, opening to pale pink.
