Hard Maple. 
Red Silver Crab. 
ELM, AMERICAN. Our noblest shade 
tree, large and spreading, combining strength 
and grace. There is no better street tree and 
nothing finer for large lawns. The charm of 
the old New England village is proverbial, 
but it is something always identified with its 
Elms. They grow anywhere and are very long 
lived. We grow our Elm by budding and 
grafting. This insures uniform habit of 
growth. There is just as much difference 
between our budded Elms and the common 
seedling Elms, which are ordinarily sold, as 
there is between the tame Plums and the 
wild ones. For street planting, it is especially 
desirable to have all the trees of uniform size 
and shape. This can only be obtained by 
using the budded or grafted Elm. We offer 
the Minneapolis Park Board Elm, selected by 
Supt. Theodore Wirth, as being the best for 
form and hardiness. 6-8 ft., 75c; 8-10 ft., 
$1.00; caliper, $2.00; 2-in. cali¬ 
per, $2.50 each. 
ELM, CHINESE. (See page 19). 
HAWTHORN. The hardy native Haw- Lombardy Poplar 
thorn with characteristic thick set tops is 
beautiful in spring when white with fragrant blossoms and again in 
autumn when full of bright red fruit which clings for weeks to the trees. 
5-6 ft., $3.00 each. 
MAPLE, HARD. One of the most symmetrical and well rounded 
trees native to America. A straight grower, vigorous, stately, inclined to 
form a spreading head when given plenty of room. A regal tree for the 
avenue, a life-long friend on the home grounds, and a specimen for the 
parks. Deeply lobed dark green foliage, changing to orange and red tints 
in autumn. 5-6 ft., $1.00 each. 
CRAB, BECHTEL’S DOUBLE 
FLOWERING. Is very showy in May 
when covered with the double pink 
blooms. The foliage resembles that of the 
wild Crab. 2-3 ft., 60c each; 3-4 ft., 
$1.00 each. 
CRAB, DOLGO. A most beautiful 
and useful lawn tree, has a profusion of 
white flowers in spring and loads of fiery 
red crab apples in fall. Unexcelled for 
jelly. 5-6 ft., $1.00 each. 
CRAB, HOPA. The deep pink blos¬ 
soms are followed by bright red fruits 
that hang to the tree for weeks, making 
a very showy appearance. The leaves on 
tips of twigs have a reddish color. 4-5 
ft., $1.00 each; 5-6 ft., $1.50 each. 
CRAB, RED SILVER. Is a beau¬ 
tiful ornamental tree. It is red all over 
the tree, in leaf, bark, and wood. The 
under sides of the leaves are of a silvery 
color, the blending of which with the 
rich maroon-red of the upper surface, 
makes a beautiful combination. The 
leaves hold their rich red color through¬ 
out the summer to a much better degree 
than any other similar plant. The some¬ 
what cut-leaf character of the foliage, the 
very dark red blossoms followed by the 
abundant dark red fruits, makes a most 
strikingly beautiful combination that 
puts the Red Silver Crab in a class by itself. We 
paid $10.00 for a small one-year-old tree less than 
3 feet high. We now are able to supply you a 
large 5-6 ft. tree, 3 and 4 years old, for only 
$1.00 each; 2 trees for $1.90.
