RED SILVER CRAB 
A REAL WORTHWHILE ORNAMENTAL 
The glorious flowering crab that is com¬ 
pletely red in flower, leaf, bark and fruit. 
Makes a fine lawn tree. Rich maroon red 
from top to bottom. This is a very remark¬ 
able new ornamental recently introduced 
by Carl A. Hansen. Most flowering crabs 
are desirable because of the mass of 
blooms which they have in such profusion 
for a short time, but the Red Silver is beau¬ 
tiful from spring until late fall because of 
its all-over red color. 
The underside of the leaves are tinseled 
with silver, a touch that makes it all the 
more beautiful as the blend of maroon and 
silver is a unique combination throughout 
the season. The leaves are somewhat cut- 
leaf, adding to the striking beauty of this 
new ornamental. 
This small tree, graceful in its lines, with 
such strikingly beautiful foliage, has a 
color so intense that it is little affected by 
the summer heat. The wonderfully fra¬ 
grant red flowers are large, partially double 
and altogether lovely. One of the greatest 
hardy flowering crabs ever introduced. 
Showy and different. 
Large Trees: Each, $1.25; 3 For $3.50. 
MAY DAY 
THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING LAWN TREE 
For superb flowering beauty on the lawn ox 
boulevard, none excels May Day. Its long, fine 
white flowers early in spring create a massive 
bouquet of loveliness that is alluringly wonderful 
and altogether lovely. 
It is the first tree to show green in spring and 
is practically in full leaf long before many of the 
common trees begin to leaf. 
The flowers are a wonderment in themselves, 
blooming early in spring, in April or early May, 
and always several weeks earlier than any of the 
other flowering trees. The flowers are large, pure 
white and very fragrant. Their mass-like clusters 
are a beautiful sight and are well adapted to cut¬ 
ting for the house or early spring lawn festivals. 
The fruit is small and though edible and good 
for jelly, is soon claimed by the birds in prefer¬ 
ence to what we consider better fruit. Thus, our 
good fruit is saved, yet the birds are fed. 
May Day may be trimmed up for a street or 
lawn shade tree or left in bush form as shown. 
It grows rapidly. It is perfectly hardy far north 
into Canada as it came from the colder parts of 
Siberia.
