DELICIOUS 
FRUITS 
*r HE thrifty housewife has 
long known the savings made 
when fruits are grown at home. 
There is something about home¬ 
grown fruit that is different. It 
tastes better than any other. For 
their ornamental qualities 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 pick¬ 
ing. 
POSTAGE—We recommend shipping iruit trees by freight or express. The 3 to 4 foot size and the 4 to 
5 foot size may be shipped by parcel post, however. Figure weight at 3 pounds each for the 3 to 4 foot and 
4 pounds each for the 4 to 5 foot. Please refer to parcel post rate table on page 32 to figure amount of postage 
to include with order. 
Small fruits such as grapes, strawberries, currants, etc., can be shipped parcel post if desired. Please note 
weights given under each item.

FLAME. (Minnesota No. 635.) 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-win¬ 
ter, 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 dur¬ 
ing 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 at¬ 
tention.
