Chinese Elm 
ELM, Chinese. (TJlmus Parvifolia.) A fast-growing, 
graceful, small-leaved tree with a bushy head. This 
recent introduction is very hardy, thriving under 
dry conditions. It will thrive in sandy or poor soil 
where most other trees fail. For a windbreak on 
the prairie or where a dense screen is desired this 
tree has no equal. A very desirable tree for the 
lawn. See picture.

CRAB, Flame. (Minnesota No. G35.) 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 pro¬ 
fusion. 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. See picture on page 13.

CRAB, Hopa. The red new foliage and the beautiful single red blos¬ 
soms which completely cover the tree in the early spring make this 
tree the most attractive of spring flowering ornamental trees. The

autumn. The tree is hardy and blooms while very young.
