T HE thrifty housewife has 
long known the savings 
made when fruits are grown at 
home. There is something about 
home-grown fruit that is differ¬ 
ent. It tastes better than any 
other. For their ornamental qual¬ 
ities alone, fruit trees are worth 
while. The next best thing to 
eating berries right off the vine 
is to have them served to you 
directly after picking.

FLAME. (Minnesota No. 035). This is primarily an 
ornamental crab but the fruits, though small, make 
an excellent red jelly. The flowers are similar to 
other crabs but are borne in great profusion. The 
tree is compact in growth and of medium size, suit¬ 
able for lawn planting. The fruits are a brilliant 
red and hang tenaciously to the trees until mid¬ 
winter, months after the leaves have fallen. The 
effect is a mass of flaming red color from August 
until November. Trees 5 to 6 feet high often have 
250 or more brilliant red colored crabs. The fruit 
during December and January is attractive to winter 
birds. As an ornamental tree in the fall it rivals 
all other trees with its attractive bright red fruit. 
Among the ornamental trees in our nursery last fall 
this ornamental crab attracted by far the most 
attention.
