ING CRAB 
Bechtel’s Crab—This 
more than beautiful orna¬ 
mental tree is a selection or 
sort of the Iowa wild crab. 
It is an exceedingly hardy 
shrub, withstanding the most 
severe winters and producing 
in the spring an immense 
quantity of double, clear, 
rich pink flowers more than 
154 inches across, similar in 
appearance to the pink ram¬ 
bler rose. After the flowers are gone, they 
are followed by the heavy, dark green 
foliage, which makes it a beautiful orna¬ 
mental tree each summer. It blooms at 
two years in the nursery and is a continu¬ 
ous annual bloomer. One of the best orna¬ 
mental trees, exceptionally desirable for 
cemeteries, or other places where it is hard

This aristocrat of the Crab family has rare beauty as an ornamental lawn 
tree. The wood is red, the inner bark brighter red, the new leaves red, and 
the flowers — which appear in immense clusters and mass over the entire 
tree—are a bright red, followed by the little crab apples — red from the time 
they start. The matured fruit is red to the core. 
Originated by Professor Hansen. Small crab about % inch in diameter, 
it is recommended more as an ornamental than a fruit-growing tree 
although it is good for both. 2 to 4 ft. only—50c Each; 3 for $1.45; 5 for 
$2.30.
