Pyrus soulardii, Bailey (Malus Soulardii, Brit.). Soylard Crab. <br />
Figs. 3286, 3287. Apparently natural hybrids of P. Malus and P. <br />
ioensis: a small tree, with much the look of an apple tree, and woolly: <br />
lvs. large, round-ovate to elliptic-ovate or oblong-ovate, either <br />
rounded or tapering at the base, often very blunt or even rounded at <br />
the top, mostly bluntly and coarsely serrate or dentate when young, <br />
irregularly crenate- dentate at maturity, with a tendency to become <br />
lobed, on short pubescent petioles, thick and often rugose and woolly <br />
beneath: fls. blush, in close woolly clusters like those of the apple: <br />
fr. often 2 in. or even more in diam., flattish lengthwise, yellow and <br />
often with a tinted cheek, the basin shallow, flesh fairly edible. Wild <br />
in the Mississippi Valley from Minn, to Texas, but always local and in <br />
different forms of fr.—Named for James G. Soulard, Galena, III., who <br />
intro. the first variety to cult. In some forms the lvs. become nearly <br />
smooth late in the season and there is little tendency toward an <br />
irregular notching or lobing of the margins. The tree is hardy and the <br />
fr. keeps well and is useful for culinary purposes. A few named <br />
varieties are grown in the upper Mississippi Valley, where trees of <br />
great hardiness are demanded. For accounts of the pomological offshoots <br />
of our native apples, see Bailey, "Evolution of Our Native Fruits," and <br />
Craig & Hume, "Native Crab Apples and Their Cultivated Varieties," Iowa <br />
Acad. Sci., 1899.<br />
