SIBERIAN FLOWERING CRAB 
THE SUPERB BEAUTY OF ORNAMENTALS 
In All Its Springtime Glory 
SHADE TREE—FRUIT TREE 
The new and improved Siberian 
Flowering Crab or Pyrus Baccata, 
from the cold dry regions of Siberia, 
is a commendable dree for ornament 
and utility. It must 'be seen and used 
to be fully appreciated. 
GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL 
Its glorious, gorgeous, early spring 
magnificence adorned in an ava¬ 
lanche of large pink and white flow¬ 
ers of superb fragrance begins its al¬ 
luring loveliness. This unquestion¬ 
ably makes it both a fine specimen 
ornamental for the lawn and wonder¬ 
ful as a street tree. Used in a wind¬ 
break, it gives the whole place a liv¬ 
ing frame of beauty. 
FOR THE LAWN OR BOULEVARD 
The blossoming is followed by a mass of dense, bright green foliage, covering heavily 
shouldered and wide spreading branches, thus making it a fine shade tree for the street 
or lawn. This fine, heavy foliage of the Siberian Flowering Crab, which has a tendency 
to be cut-leafed, forms a huge canopy of living green for many delightful summer lawn 
parties and picnics. 
A FINE FRUIT TREE—BEARS EARLY 
Then comes the bright red and yellow fruits which can be used for eating, jelly, or 
pickling, or are best pressed out and the juice added as the desired flavor in other fruit 
jams and jellies to bring out their full value. The juice also makes remarkable cider. 
The tree usually bears when about three years old. 
A BEAUTIFUL WINDBREAK BACKGROUND 
Being of such a well built nature with staunchly branched 
limbs and with such a fine heavy network of branches, it 
makes a splendid tall windbreak and blizzard break when 
planted close together in rows, and its early spring flowers 
will make your whole grove a glorious flower garden; then 
later on a good fruit orchard. Yet because of its very low 
price it is in line with the most common trees, and it may 
be used as needed protection and abundant beauty in one 
or two rows of your windbreak. 
STURDY—DISEASE RESISTANT 
The tree itself grows to a good height and lives long. Its 
growth is rapid, sturdy, and vigorous. It is very drouth 
and disease resistant and because of its origin is absolutely 
hardy everywhere. Siberian Flowering Crab does well on 
the poorest soil, growing for years with scarcely any care 
or attention.
