P. Malus (Crab |Britain; |White; |This is the Crab Apple of

| |Spring |not very ornamental, three
| | |varieties of it deserve
| | |notice. These are
| | |*coccinea, which has large
| | |scarlet fruits in
| | |abundance;
| | |flore-albo-pleno, with
| | |large semi-double, pure
| | |white flowers, and
| | |Neidzwetzkyanus, a very
| | |handsome form with
| | |purple-tinted leaves and
| | |fruit. But no tree can
| | |become popular with such a
| | |name. We hope it will be
| | |changed. Pendula is welcome
| | |for its drooping growth.
