SIBERIAN FLOWERING CRAB—The Hard¬

is a tree that is rapidly coming to the 
front as one of our best flowering crabs. 
It is the hardiest, coming from a country 
getting as low as 50 to 60 degrees below 
zero in the winter and very hot and dry 
in the summer. The-flowers are large, 
widespread, and fragrant, and lovely to 
look at. They are mostly white with a 
pink blushed throat. The flowers are fol¬ 
lowed by nice, sizeable fruits that make 
fine jam and jelly. The tree is widspread 
and of rapid growth, disease resistant and 
very sturdy. They do well with little care 
and make an ideal lawn tree for shade 
and beauty. They are long lived and 
will do well under the most trying condi¬ 
tions. The foliage turns to red and gold 
in fall, with bright red and yellow fruit 
hanging in profuse masses all over the 
trees. This fruit if not picked will hang 
on the trees all winter and provide food 
for the birds. The trees plant very well 
in the fall of the year. 2-year trees. 25c 
ea.; 6 trees for $1.00.
