PINK GIANT 
flowering £rab 
OFFERED FOR THE FIRST TIME 
A CARL A. HANSEN INTRODUCTION . 
We have seen many flowering crabs and many hybrids of them 
but this is the first one we have ever grown at which we are 
completely awed. It is one of those unusual beauties of nature 
that makes us fairly gasp at its glory. The flowers are huge, 
brilliantly pink and the showiest things imaginable. 
In our nursery where we have many groups of flowering crabs, 
Pink Giant, with its gaudy blossoms, outshines all the rest and 
you can see it from a great distance, standing out among all the 
others with its brilliant, alluring, vivid pink flowers. In addition 
to their large size, they open wide, in fact they are the shape of 
a saucer, which tends to make them look even bigger and en¬ 
hances their gorgeous beauty. 
The Pink Giant, in our tests and observations so far, has larger 
flowers of a more vivid pink color and is more showy than any 
of the others. The Hopa Flowering Crab has become one of the 
leading flowering crabs of America in late years, but the Pink 
Giant is even more showy than this lovely ornamental.

if not trimmed up and forms a symmetrical, compact tree. 
The leaves on the tips of the branches are tinted with red, 
giving the whole tree an unusually decorative effect, even 
when not in bloom. 
Pink Giant is of a very hardy strain. Its parentage and 
tests so far have proved it should thrive and grow to the 
Canadian line and beyond. In the nursery it is a very 
vigorous and an unusually fast growing tree. 
The wonderful blossoms last a long time, the tree is larger 
than other flowering crabs, and the red fruits cling until 
winter, making Pink Giant a three purpose tree. For 
flower, for shade, for ornament. 
This is the first time we have offered this new Pink Giant 
and we only have a very few trees available this year. 
Order now while the supply lasts. 
We believe this new Pink Giant Flowering Crab 
to be the most outstanding Flowering Crab we 
have ever offered.

HOPA ... Red Flowering Crab 
Attractive .... Cheery .... Desirable 
Introduced for the first time in 1920. A remarkable tree 
which is entirely covered with beautiful rose colored blos¬ 
soms in May. It is a cross of Niedzwetzkyana, a red fleshed, 
red-flowering apple from Turkestan, and the Siberian Crab. 
Hopa is very hardy, blooms when but five feet in height, 
and is of such striking beauty.that it deserves a place on 
every lawn. The fruit is red inside and out, and is very 
ornamental. 
The tree makes a very strong, well balanced growth. The color 
of the leaves and bark livens up the landscape and gives it a cheer¬ 
ful aspect throughout the year. The foliage for summer color and 
the reddish colored bark for winter scenery. 
For the best effect and to bring out its beauty Hopa may be planted 
in a group with other tall growing shrubbery or trees, or it may be 
planted as a specimen tree with excellent results, for as such it shows 
up splendidly.

In addition to its gorgeous flowers, it

on well into the winter and make fine 
feed for the birds. The tree is of strong, 
upright growth with heavy branches and 
main trunk. It will retain its lower limbs
